The BNP with crown above stands for Birmingham Nitro Proof which indicates that the rifle has been tested in an official Proof House.
Lang, I believe the huge numbers of 'Enfields' sent to Britain from the US at the outbreak of WW2 were in fact M17 and they were issued to or intended for the Home Guard. Better than broomsticks eh? No doubt ammunition was also supplied. The British didn't set up to produce 30.06. I don't have documentation at hand for the above but I think it will be found to be correct. David
