Strange markings on an early No.5

Joesalter.ca had one for sale a while ago with CPJ, and they also assumed secondary ownership as well, but no notion as to whom.

I did an exhaustive search but came up blank, I`m sure there is an answer, just not on the internet that I can find.

Very interesting rifle.

Also to note... my bolt head has what looks like two crossed swords or kukris and a P stamp.  Im used to seeing crossed flags, not swords..

Further to my original question,  the serial appears to be stamped not electro penned.  there is a date visible of 4/44 which the camera did not capture   Is this indicative of any ftr work or were some fazakerlys stamped like this?  this is not the first no.5 that ive seen this way.    I am untimately trying to determine if this gun has ever been ftr'd or been worked on by ishapore.  so far i dont think so, but the strange stampings on the reciever have me stumped.      there is a small asterisk on the reciever ring as well.  some say this means rust in the bore but thisbgun actually has the nicest bore of any of my rifles.

also does the p stamped on the bolt head mean anuthing? instead of crossed flags it has what looks like crossed kukris

thanks again

 The`P` on the bolt head more than likely refers the the parts maker A. Poole & Sons, Redditch.

I can`t speak for the x`d swords, Wilkenson used it, don`t know who else.

Thought maybe Pakistan but their mark would be M upward facing arrow D and centered under that a P

Can you post a close up of the bolt head?

The P I`d say is Poole, the Arrow is British ownership the crossed swords more than likely an inspection mark.

How ever I think it would be safe to say with those secondary numbers stamped on it it was owned by some other country, the Brits did sell a lot of these world wide.
