Can find no record of a Wakefield in London.Could be associated with W.H.Wakefield & Co; of 10 Whittall Street, Birmingham. 1897-1900.Proof marks are Birmingham pre,1901. Top lever is similar to the Westley Richards design of the period.Could be a W.R. action finished by Wakefield or a rifle made for Wakefield by Westley Richards. The & Co; suggests to me that Wakfield was a dealer as well as a possibly a maker.
