Symbol on 22LR boxes ????

Anyone know what the little crown symbol is???
I have 3 types of Winchester, a box American Eagle, and CCI Blazers
all have the same symbol on the box.

Hm, interesting just might be my first tattoo too!
Sorry, no idea what the symbol is, but I will watch this thread for further input.
Nothing like a learning event on Canada Day.
Happy Birthday Canada!

Proof mark ?

Yes, Proof of the Commission Internationale Permanente
pour l’Epreuve des Armes à Feu Portatives
Permanent International Commission for Firearms Testing.

Checked all my ammo and it all has some sort of proof of ammo testing.
Only stuff that does not have a proof mark is some
223 that was made in Israel.
Thanks JP

Wow! Could that be an argument with NRCAN when trying to import ammo if it has been approved by an international commision as safe??

Just checked all 3 boxes of my 308 and none of them have that little crown symbol they were S&B , Federal and winchester .308 both have them and my box of CCI .22's have it .

Downsizing red tape is un-Canadian.

Double edged sword since we don't really know what countries are part of this commision, somehow I doubt that much if any of the former combloc countries are in it.
