I have a rifle made by Alf Parker , of Parker Hale fame , The rifle was made  and  proofed in 1920 , then was sold in 1927 after the proof marks law had changed in 1925  so it was re proved again  . New Zealand has no proof laws and depends on the proofing done in either the factory proofs as in the USA or the country origin proofs as in Italian or British proofs  . We have Accident compensation laws where the State picks up the bill  for all accidental injuries , no liability involved</p></blockquote><p></p>
