Hi,

Was suggested I post this here as it appears to have some interesting or missing bits? Or maybe it's just a Franken gun and just shoot it and not worry about it.

As far as I can tell the numbers on bolt match the receiver and what I think is a Canadian proof or inspection? I'm probably wrong but that's why I'm here.

Was fairly dirty when given to me so I gave it a wipe down and ran the brush down the bore to get a clearer look. Everything seems good and functions and I couldn't get a good picture of the bore but it was shiny and the rifling clearly defined.

Thanks for the help.

That would be an early Maltby. Brit markings. A Long Branch safety. The "England stamp is post military export mark. The safety and any other parts could have been changed out while in service.
 
The mark below the ENGLAND stamp is a crown over entwined GP the stamp of the London Proof House a commercial stamp post service.
