Snider Enfields and U.S. service
Good day all. I've picked up an early Snider Enfield conversion that has me a little puzzled. It has no unit or Canadian markings but it has what appears to be a U.S. style inspector's stamp in the wood on the left side of the butt. It's hard to make out, but it seems to be a decorative lozenge with some initials or numbers. Does anyone know if Snider Enfields saw civil war service due to the scarcity of domestic arms? Can anyone recognize the stamp? Thank you all.
