Unknown stamp on a Maltby No.4
I posted this request a few years ago but only one poster ventured an opinion of what this large "FNR" stock stamp may stand for?
It's on this 1942 dated Maltby I have that is still in mint unfired, since proofing, and in unissued condt. The rifle has a war expedient, rear sight, cocking piece and safety and has no US import stamps and no British added export stamps, (tons, England, etc). The stock has a large FNR stamp on the stock which one opinion I received was that it may stand for Felixstowe Naval Reserve. Felixstowe being a port town on the East coast of England in the county of Suffolk. Peter didn't feel that was what it means. It may have have walked across the border to the US from Canada years ago because of the absent of import, export, stamps. Does anyone have any another idea or opinion as to what it might be. Ray
Here's the old "long" post I had on it.
