Here is the only 'stamping' on the Butt:https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...304ead7e-1.jpg

Heading over this summer ??

Will be in our cottage in Twyford, Melton Mowbray, from May on. Cheers, Don

Thats a different "F", probably a Fazakerley mark.

Its the painted "FR" on the butt that might belong to the mysterious "FR" clan....
