Military records in our custody do not include the record of assignment and operational activity of individual pieces of equipment.

OP--nice rifle! I know a lot of records were lost at that time and I may never know. The serial number is fairly low so it was likely issued during WWI. Forums - Thread Details. Thanks again guys, and N White they're great pic's. I have to find my source but I remember reading that several of the manufacturers namely Winchester and Remington kept on building spare parts well into early How far into I don't know. My best guess with this "6thH" marking on the underside of the stock is that it is a Canadian unit marking, possibly of a Home Guard unit.

Thank you very much. And does the upper hand guard clip off like a SMLE to reveal the barrel markings or is a more complicated job to strip the rifle down? I see that the rifle had a very strong nickel plated receiver so I guess quite a few of these beasts would have been used for hunting Post War that's if they slipped the net , or were Sold out of Service like Brit Guns.
