I've got a few globs of metal on my fins (or something) but the fin to the right of the crown absolutely has a right angle engraved into it
Maybe it is an L or something. PrinceZips has 2 Bs and what looks like arrow. Different factories different marks?
You guys got me curious! I just checked mine and it has a B stamped on it. I wish I had checked the other three I had at one point!
Show and tell peeps. Lets see those stamps.

That is in fact the Royal Crown symbol.
Several weapons / guns manufactured in the UK have these stamps.
I think the letter next to it is 'L.'
Schrodinger555s also has some raised metal next to his B. Could be something.
Turns out it was just a bit of left over grease! It's blank under there
I have a B (red), what appears to be a large D (yellow)...
... and an arrow (green) which is the same as on this part:

It might be a C, which if accurate could mean manufactured by Colt. Very early ones were and not very many either.
I also see a “B”, an “S”, and probably/possibly something else in the yellow. Also a “V” maybe?
They used 3 types of marking these, engraving, something called electro-pencil (or something like that), and stamping.

The “B“ marking means it was manufactured by BSA (Birmingham Small Arms).
The crown marking usually has letters underneath it.
“D”, “H”, “M”, “P”, “U”, and “W” are common but their significance is not understood.
The Arrow is the British Broad Arrow, and military stamping all over older British wartime weapons and ordnance.
