Hello caporal ... 
ENFIELD MARKINGS (click here)http://enfieldrifles.profusehost.net/gh11.htm
BNP (Birmingham Nitro Proof ) - Required by British law, any firearm offered for commercial sale (regardless of military proofing) has to undergo a pressure test. Passed firearms were stamped, usually on the barrel and receiver. These letters will have a crown stamped directly above them. The 18.5 is the proof in tons.
If a rifle has the phrase 'England' on it anywhere, it means that it was in England at sometime prior to arriving in the U.S. It has nothing to do with where it was made.
Regards,
Badger
