Black buttplates on Long Branches - when were they introduced?

[jrhead75]

Your Maltby most likely had a broken pot metal buttplate that was replaced with a steel Canadian one post WWII.

Good call Brian...I took it off and it was "CA" marked on the back side. Interesting in that the rest of the rifle is in nearly pristine original factory unissued condition.
