Savage T sniper question

[Lee Enfield]

How does any Savage T have the TR marking on it, if that was a selection marking applied ad BSA and Maltby?

It is very common to find early guns which had the markings "corrected" in service. Specific to this rifle, I've seen a number of FTR marked early Savage "T" rifles with similar TR markings stamped.

It's also common for collectors to "correct" the markings on guns...which is why you sometimes find real Long Branch snipers with faked BSA and H&H type markings...
