Ishapore No1

Rumours abound re continuing manufacture of Ishapore No1s.

Whats the latest dates known ? (proven date - not guesstimates, or my mates mother saw one a while ago)

I was thinking about this very subject just yesterday too. :madsmile:

Is it time for a list?? A survey of Ishapore No. 1 MkIII/III*/3/3* dates and serial numbers? That would give us a sub-list of the latest dates. No 2A/2A1's, thank you very much.

For instance, I have

an undated Mk III* with a '40 FR date and
a 1954 Mk 3 with Iraqi markings.

Certainly not the 'newest' but .....

Latest dates known on Ishapore 303s is 1988. On Ishapore 308s is 1972. Yes, 303s were made later than 308s.

Alan, In my notes is the same info as, jona. There was also a pic of the rifle, BTW.
