Was that canadian acceptance mark a post WW2 marking?
Unreal, had no idea. For some reason i thought the receivers were milled with the slot but no plates fitted
Makes me wonder if there's a '23 dated cutoff for my other lithgow

Thanks peter. My chest needs at least 3 panels pulles off it for repair, with 1 to be replaced. Figured i might as well refurb the whole thing
They must have had a canvas bag or something, surely?

Waiting to here what the strap is for
