    Just acquired Mk IIIB AND sight comparisons

    Hi all:
    Just got this War Office Pattern Ross. It's in not bad shape, with the correct P14 type front sight and unique rearsight. It has a rack number stamped on the right side of the butt, which looks like Farsi perhaps--maybe time in the Middle East or India? There is a split along the left side forewood which is not through, and appears to have been caused by a couple of hits with what looks like a screwdriver or chisel maybe--rather odd. The bore is nice. It also has a very small issue stamp on the buttplate tang which I cannot decipher, but is presumably some sort of Britishicon regimental marking.
