There is a good booklet that details all the authorised butt marking disc info used by Britain up to 1942 or so. Available from Brian at BDL

+1 Get the booklet, it is worth having around. I just wish the author signed my copy!! ;)

I know nothing about these things, so here's an uninformed guess:madsmile:

10th British Columbia Field Artillery or something of that ilk.
Rifle No. 19

10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery?

Rifle 19

That must be the answer! And here they are:

so at least that is one rifle for which one has some idea of where it's been!

Thanks for the replies :wave:

I am in the process of buying this rifle. I will post some good pictures when I get it

IF it is 10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery, it will be interesting as that was a WWI unit. This carbine (I suspect a carbine based on the stamps) is marked with the M&D which is the Canadian Militia and Defence stamp usually seen on the late Martini's and the Long Lees, LMC, LEC. You don't see it on the Short Lee's. I wasn't aware that the CFA went overseas with carbines, but I suppose it is possible. I think there was a British Columbia Garrison Artillery or some such thing--I have a Martini marked with that regimental mark. That might be more likely based on dates?
