Hi guys,

Wonder if any of you happen to recognise the letters “RDR” on the rear of the action on this 1912 SMLE MKIII. Not sure of the correct name for it but they are just forward of the wrist area (similar place as where the 4T has the D6E marks).

Not sure if they are related, but the rifle action and Butt are al stamped with EY, then Drill Purpose. It also has a butt disc with the word MALVERN stamped on it. (presumably a college or TA ?)

Any hints on its history would be greatly welcome.

thanks
