Dean, that gun has English proof marks because it went to England, not because it's a P Repro. I had to do some checking on the proofmarks. Can’t recall ever having seen a Brit gun marked with “kg” rather than “bars”. Appears this one was proofed during the period 1985-89, when they were converting to metric marks (but you might still find the old “tons” proofmark) but before they standardized on “bars” vs “kg” (which mean the same thing anyhow). And that’s the magnum or superior proof. You wouldn’t have to worry about what you shot in that gun—not that you should anyhow, with a Repro.
