There are proof codes before the 1920s
There are no date codes before the 1920s
I do agree with you that this gun was made way before
the 1920s
The BNP Crown has been used since 1954 and I think the
entire proof stings was added at reproof.
There are three proof date codes, I can only read one at this time

Mike, forgive me but I am clearly being obtuse. Where are the other 2 date codes? I can only see one, bottom right of the LH barrel flat. The other 4 'crossed sabres' are Birmingham Provisional and Definitive Black powder proof marks from prior 1904.
