Thank you, Bill, for contributing the data on your nice Pre-Victory.
From the Database I would estimate that it shipped in the August-September, 1940 time frame. It probably shipped to the British Purchasing Commission. At that moment in history the Battle of Britain was at its height. Britain needed every firearm it could find. Your's was likely one of those guns bought in the darkest hours.
