That's the marking put on by the importer."Century International Arms,St. Albans,VT".What you see as "AIR" is ALB.

so is this a no1 mkIV in 455 - or - a no2 mkIV in 380 ?

reason i ask is there should be bunches of other markings that would be fun on the no1 , it would be a boer war revolver , and either private purchase officers sidearm or issue with canceled broad arrows

but there are a few very important ones on a no2 to get the vintage/use right , these would have a 'war finish' marking if WWII , but since the carried on into the 70s there were numerous police departments that issued them , singapore and toranto leap to mind
