Hi Daryl, the London Proof House does have a View Mark. It's a Crown over a V. As many (if not most) London Guns where made by Birmingham makers a lot will have BPH markings.

I have a Charles Boswell 16b, a London Maker with Birmingham Proofs for example. But as Boswell had a feud going with the London Proof House he had his later period guns proofed at Birmingham. On the other hand my Henry Atkin is London Proofed.

Ah...the joys of Brit guns!!! I love them!

All the best!
