A (arrow) A
IIG

I have received a lot of information regarding these markings:

A. A. may refer to Ardrossan Academy in the U.K. that provided officers' training during WWI and WWII

2EIRR is a mark of a unit of the East India Railway Volunteer Rifles

IIG is an Indian Government Mark (although this rifle doesn't have an "ishy" screw which would indicate that the Indians refurbrished it.)

(Any other suggestions or interpretation of these marks would be deeply appreciated.)

This old piece has apparently seen a lot of world history and it would be great if it could be put in chronological order and documented.
