@Blimey...
That doesn't look like any Hebrew letter of IDF marking to me.
Cheers.
In the very first photo of the wrist where the deep grind is the star is lying on its side. That would be a no no i think.
Attachment 132727Attachment 132726 The rifle is supposed to be a Hagenah capture from the British in the period 1945-1948 and pre-date the IDF. Could the marking on the butt could be a "Tav"? One of meanings of this letter is "Life or death" which certainly applied to Israel pre 1948.
Same as the Tav marking on this pistol round.
"One of meanings of this letter is "Life or death""
Where did you get that from?!?!?
I speak and read Hebrew, and I don't see any Tof there.
Anyone see the Enfield examiner's mark? I don't.
The marking on the cuttoff block is obviously fake as well.
"TR" is wrong and I don't see a "T" either.
The over-stamping of purported numbers is probably just bubbas attempt at creating a "history".
Could be an Israeli conversion I suppose, but don't know enough about those to say. Certainly was never a British conversion IMHO.
What is 20✡ 06 suppose to represent?
Jonny - I got it from this website. Isn't it correct?
Ok - thanks for the help guys.
That source is so esoteric that it verges on the useless. That 'meaning' never would have made the leap from a rabbinical seminary to an armorer.
