Trainers

Thought I'd post a picture of the few training rifles in my collection

The top one come from Atlanta Cutlery and is probably part of the Nepalese haul. It is very well made of solid wood and lead weights to give it balance and is in the pattern of a No.1 Mark 3. I'm not sure if it was meant for bayonet practice as the nosecap fits a p1907 perfectly. Does anyone have any information on this trainer?

Mine is marked [D broad arrow 1917] if that helps any. It is in VG + condition so I don't think it saw much use. Don't know its provenance.
