Markings and butt plate.....on a Mk.1

[Warren]

Years ago I stripped down an old junker Mk.1 and recently found the barreled action and now the wood that was in "the shed" (tm). Going to find the few remaining parts I need and put it back together. I do hope the stock markings are what I think they are. What say you from down under???
The butt stock still had the original trapless steel butt plate.

A good bet on the marking is 1st Australian Light Horse.

Agree...the style and location is consistent with Australian Light Horse markings that have shown up from time to time.
