The top of the rear receiver ring carries the newer (post W.W.1) B.S.A.Guns (3 stacked rifles within an oval) logo.

Barrel, bolt & receiver all carry B'ham proof marks.

Barrel, bolt, receiver & rear sight slide all carry the same serial number (bolt & slide only have last 3 digits).

The dove-tailed barrel hold-down block, screw or diamond-shaped stock escutcheon do not carry the serial number, nor does the barrel-mounted sling eye.

The other side of the barrel carries the engraved inscription:

MADE FOR WELLS' HARDWARE Co. LTD. FORT FRANCES

This was a famous hardware store (ca. 1885-1940's) in the lumber town of Fort Frances, Ontario, Canada, on the other side of the Rainy River from International Falls, Minnesota, USA

Another 1/2 can of Wipe-out and the blue goop from the bore is finally gone.

Now to see if I can locate a better, more suitable stock for the old girl.
