It was re-barreled in Birmingham in 1953 .J Ross 1890 patent 19395 ejector work .The 574 could be the number of the ejector made under that patent .
As the action is unsigned I would assume that it was a gun made to be sold out to the provincial trade and engraved up as the seller.At the time of manufacture there were little or no requirements for record keeping or gun serial numbers .As a note to this I have had similar guns to which I have made and marked guns with an ID number to meet current UK law .
Thank you for your reply - I had an assumption that this was the case. However I am now on the bottom as regards to the origins of my shotgun 😅
