Yes, it smells British. However British firearms practically allways bear proofmarks.
But i am far from being an expert and i am not at home, to consult my (insifnificant) library. Can only check it next week.
Meanwhile, can't you get brighter pictures of the barrel breech ... and a close up of the lock ? No Tower mark on the lock plate behind the cock, or a crown in front of it ?
Case not yet closed.
