No, it was rifle number 285 in the PWOR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pri...;_Own_Regiment NO...refer to the hatbadge in the upper corner of the Wiki. I suspect this rifle was issued here in Canada icon

for training before overseas in WW2, or after the war it was still in stores in their armory. The 288 could be anything...rack number for instance.
