1892 Winchester Markings

I'm curious as to if anyone knows what the numbers stamped on the barrel bands of an 1892 that was manufactured in 1902 are. It also has "China Navigation Company" stamped on the barrel and on the buttstock.

No idea. Post a couple of pictures. After that I may still have no idea, but I want to see what they look like.

Here’s an interesting read…. Apparently some(?) were sent from Britain to canada to arm canadian troops in ww1

B&S (Butterfield & Swire, owners of the China Navigation Co)
The 41 is their inventory serial number.

I can’t make out the proof mark on the barrel. Maybe not british? It also doesn’t look winchester.

I believe it's a British proof mark...at least from what I've read.
