Hi,
A picture would be nice. I believe they are Birmingham proof marks from the 20th century.

The crown with block letters BP and BV are the Birmingham nitro powder proofs for 1904-1925...another variation of the same ran from 1925 to 1954. That's way late for a true trade gun with the possible exception of African trade prior to WWI.
