Have a look here and see if you can identify more proof marks , See if you can rub white chalk into the marks to help you to see them.

thank you for that! it looks to have the markings with the letters B3 and B1 next to them. I take it this is black powder only? . thank you.

It needs to have a stamp with BNP on it or NP for it to be nitro proofed , With only the stamps you have mentioned it is black powder only proofed.
