No2 MkIV* Rifle

[Homer]

That is one tattoo'd old lady. The .22 stamp is on the wrong side of the mag. but that's life.
She certainly is a parts bitzer, but I have one unmarked thats also like that. No tattoo's though.

I didn't know there was a right side for the stamp. Mine are all wrong then as well.

Nice gun Buccaneer and really nice photo's.

Homer, reference List of changes...31st may 1926.... Cases to be stamped '.22 ' on left side, to enable ready identification of the magazine case.
If my memory serves me correctly these were to be done with 1/4 in. stamps? someone else may have that info. at hand, mine is in use elsewhere at the moment.
A reference to this can be found in Skennerton's TLE page 287 para.4
