    Marking on leather?



    I'm asking this on behalf of a colleague who's posted this on the HBSA members forum - can anyone identify the S-two-arrows stamp? On a Sam Brown and a .303 bandolier

    I believe he means the two 'crossed arrows' in the circle.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Just wondering is its a sold out of service marking, it being the S as is commonly used on equipment as O.P shows in their pic#2.
    Nothing in Skennertonicon Broad Arrow MK I or II that I could see.
