Hello Folks,
Correction...This is a Model 12 but has a 25" barrel, which is even shorter than the Model 8 barrel is supposed to be at 26".
The stock disc and receiver are marked with only the C broad arrow mark.
Does anyone know anything more about the Canadian provenance, or can point me in the right direction to more information?
Thank you for any help.
Dave
Used to have many of them in schools in South Africa, until we had political correctness.

Sorry for resurecting this so late - the Canadian Government placed 2 orders for BSA Martini rifles, the first in 1933 and the second in 1935. They were both ordered with shorter barrels than normal models.
