Lined Through/Defaced Broad Arrow on P-14 MkI E ?
Greetings:
I have a nice Eddystone Pattern 14 Mk.I E rifle with a marking that I have a question about. The customary Broad Arrow marking on the left side of the receiver appears to be defaced by lining through it. See the image below.
I am familiar with the opposing Broad Arrow marking tip-to-tip which, I understand, means "sold out of stores". Is the marking on my rifle the equivalent, does it mean something else, or are the lines through the Broad Arrow I am seeing just some random surface marks of no consequence? Thanks in advance for an input.
Regards,
Charlie
