there is a "T" stamp on top of my receiver as well as an "F" stamp. But JUST those two letters no FTR or FR for being repaired. It seems to be original minus being sporterized. Its a Canadian issued 1917 BSA SHTLE. it was found in an attic behind things and everything matches and has NO refurbished / reissued date stamp on it other then the number 17 on side.
