I'm no expert but those are Birmingham proof marks, rules of 1904. Which puts the manufacture between 1904 and 1925. Crown over BP: Birmingham Proof Crown over BV: Birmingham View (visual inspection) Crown over NP: Birmingham Nitro Proofed 450 EX: Caliber and "Express Rifle" Cordite 70 - 480: Maximum bullet weight over the standard powder load (both in grains) ( beleive that this indicates that that it was proofed for semi-smokeless powder) If anyone would car to correct me, please feel free. -Stev |
