Having just acquired a 1905 CR prefixed ShtLE MkI***, I was wondering if anyone knew when these were issued to Irish troops? During the Great War, or after the 1921 partition? If after 1921, why are these not marked Fianna Fail? Or were these strictly for regular Irish regiments under Britishicon command? This is the second such rifle I've owned, and am trying to get an idea if this rifle was indeed used in the First World War and or when it would have received its new serial number. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
