1st Royal Scots Martini Henry?
This is a Martini Henry I bought from Atlanta Cutlery, came from the Nepalese cache. Enfield manufacture, was a MkI, converted to MkII. Made in 1878, still retains the checkered buttstock. I have found what I believe to be the original regimental markings on it, and from what I can gather, it appears to have been a rifle that was used by the 1st Royal Scots. I have included several pics of the markings, and at first glance it may look like 1/23, but when you get it under a loop, you can see it says 1/RS. 1st Royal Scots? Also, there is another set of marking toward the rear of the stock, these appear also to be 1 RS, then below this, the number 225. Rack number? These markings are very worn, but I was hoping someone out there might own a MH with markings similar to these, and might have some insight. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
