4thGordons Posted 5 January , 2021 Share Posted 5 January , 2021 (edited) That is not one with which I am familiar, nor can I find any trace in the standard references. Are there any signs of Indian use on the rifle? (eg an RF/date below the safety etc or other indications?). If so this would increase the options a lot. I can't quite make out -- is there a metal reinforcing band at the back of fore-end (it looks as though there might be, but it may just be the tip of a brass rod reinforce I am seeing) The trigger guard is interesting as it has neither a mount for additional sling swivel nor a wire loop for attaching an action cover, this is usually only the case on single loader or .410 musket conversions.

Mk VII Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 Standard Small Arms one (or rather the body is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 6 January , 2021 Share Posted 6 January , 2021 45 minutes ago, Mk VII said: Standard Small Arms one (or rather the body is). or possibly NRF given it is 1918 @Gorton19 if you look down on the top of the rifle at that left hand side of the bolt-way you will probably see SSA (Standard Small Arms) as MkVII says - or possibly NRF (National Rifle Factory) which was the final version of this enterprise. Neither of which gives any help on the unit disc! I still have absolutely no idea I can't even make one up that sounds reasonable let alone likely!
