He told me it was a prototype and he has a friend who used to work at BSA in R&D who confirmed his story.

When pressed more he said that it is obviously a military pattern rifle due to the chevron stamp on the underside of the barrel......

I sent him a picture of my BSA CS model with the exact same V/chevron marking on the underside.

Still would not have it.

There were 2 sellers i can recall sold from their 'Private collections' but I think the one you refer to J is one from Reading who was nicknamed 'Captain Shouty' on the forums. Something to do with his selling name being a military rank.
