I've seen other Enfields with this disc but don't know a specific country where they were used. If the rifle doesn't have a ج in a triangle anywhere on the rifle then its not Iraqi. An educated guess...

I am new to this forum and have a question about a No 4 for sale locally. I have the chance to buy a 1943 dated Savage No. 4 Mk 1 that was FTR'd in 1948. The rifle looks like it wasn't handled much...
Saw this on ebay and wanted to know if this is really a genuine Indian made bayonet from 1921 or not. I'm not too familiar with the Indian production dates. Thoughts?
Original WW1 WW2 Indian...
Hi I signed up a while ago after finding lots of useful information on the forum. I've been collecting WWII firearms for about 15 years now. I'm crossing over to collecting gear and firearms from the...
