I believe this is a modern barrel and the proof stamps were added to give it an authentic look. These stamps are available from TOTW.  BP signifies Birmingham Proof, the crossed scepters are an inspection mark, according to The Standard Directory of Proof Marks.

The CP is definitive proof and the crossed cannons is provisonal proof for black powder.

577,

These are not real proof marks, but as stated above, created with stamps from TOT-wolf and other places.
In the UK, you'd get locked up for using these!

Thanks guys. I have to admit that I'm not sure why anybody would add false proof markings or stamps.

It is a modern barrel for a reproduction Northwest gun.  The circle fox and London are typical for a trade gun barrel.  The proof marks are generic.
