I've bid on it and hope to get it cheap. If anyone can clarify what WW2 era practice would have been regarding sporting guns being kept as gun club loaders for recreational use by base personnel it would be nice to verify.

The proof marks on the barrels denote that it is of British manufacture and it was "proofed" at the Birmingham proof house between 1925 and 1954

It doesn't show any military proof marks.
