Anyone out there want to venture a guess as to the significance of the white paint top rear of the butt stock I have pictured. There is no sign of paint anywhere else on the rifle, just where the butt stock has been damaged at some point in the last 71 years since manufacture at Long Branch. I assume it is to denote the damaged section, but perhaps someone out there has a better explanation for it. Could it have been to mark the damaged section for a future repair by an armourer? Perhaps its something peculiar to NZicon? For what its worth its an 'earlyish' (4L series Long Branch) that is N/|\Z marked.
