Odd body
Picked up recently in a parts box: LE MkI body, dated 1903 but with VR cypher. Seemed a bit odd as she died in 1901. Later made into .22 and with SA ownership marks.
Can't find the photos at the moment.

“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
Much changes, much remains the same.

Is there a T in the serial number? Sounds like it might be a native made receiver.

No there isn't and it's got lots of the right inspection stamps, so it's not a NW Frontier job.

It's a bit like cap badges. Once the reigning king dies, it's a few years before all of the cap badges change. I had a brass kings crown cap badge when I was an apprentice in 1963 and so did others. As for greatcoat buttons, I think that they were ALL the kings crown so two years won't have made a lot of difference. Just a thought
