Okay, got all the info on the .303

on the right hand side of receiver:

ERA
Serial number


On the left side Barrel
MADE IN USA, stamped over something I can’t read and two tiny stamps before the “303”and a tiny number 4 after, then BM in a circle with three lines coming out of the top.

On the left side of receiver:
An arrow pointing left then’ NETR PROOF’ stamped over a stamp of G&R with two crossed flags with an “F” under the flags, then a circle stamp with HM in it and a crown on top, then a perfectly legible arrow/and the “G&R” over the crossed flags and F on the bottom

It's an Eddystone manufactured P-14 rifle and that's NITRO PROOF!

It should also have 303 2.222" 18 Tons

Which is standard British proof marking.
