You are right, it has British Proof Marks on its barrell and chamber and they are from Birmingham proof house. I was not aware of this but some research on the internet and some discusssion with H&R collector revealed it.
Thanks,

...of course that alone wouldn't necessarily translate to 'service' revolver....least of all the presence of a lanyard swivel, which is a curious Indian preference.... I've seen every thing from Baby Brownings , cheap Spanish contraptions to PPKs, S&W, Colt revolvers and other nicer stuff 'dutifully' stuck on with an ugly lanyard swivel by either a moron of a gunsmith or on demand....

funny really.
