My very first rifle, a 1918 Enfield!

[1918tony]

Back in 1989, I was a twenty year old kid basically. I was freshly stationed at Ft. Irwin, in California. I bought a 1918 Enfield from a little gun shop in Barstow, Riley’s Reloader. Since that was my first ever rifle, I tucked the receipt away, for some reason. Well, sadly I ended up getting rid of it in the late 90’s. My wife and I moved to Ft. Smith Arkansas in 1996. That same year, I traded it away. Little did I know, 24 years later, I’d rediscover in a pawn shop in Alma Arkansas. I went home and dug out that receipt to verify. It was virtually in the same condition it left me in. The bolt however, had been replaced. I bought it on the spot. It is now priceless to me. It even retained the little leather plug in the buttstock covering the buttstock screw head.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some of these markings as well?

I don’t know how to post pics. I don’t see any icons.
