A proof mark, possibly Birmingham Proof house?

I think you are right.
Looks a lot like the Cursive UPB under crown used from 19868 to 1925
One well placed shot is all it takes.

The little cadet is not something to trifle with. They can give you a lot of grief so best find someone at your local range who has one of these little gems & start picking his or her brains! Not to put you off but these are heeled projectiles & from articles I've read is best to use regardless.
If you have any surviving factory ammo then mike these guys, if they shoot accurately them get a lend of a chronograph & measure their velocity so you can load appropriately. You'll may have a weight of projectile on the box so order a 'sample' pack(s) from Dave at CBE. Whatever works best, order a mould & go from there.
They are a labour of love & will test your mettle at reloading, when you get one of these going properly write all your notes down for goodness sake!
Best of luck
