My new 1916 SHt LE III Looks MINT

[Brian Dick]

It looks like a Standard Small Arms rifle as rebuilt in Australia. Not really sure. It sports a Parkerized finish and what looks to be coachwood furniture. Are there any FTR markings on the top of the receiver ring? I don't see any on the buttstock.

I think it is a crown, with G R below, then crossed flags, and a P. Beside that it looks like an L with 3L below, then a B

Found a D D with arrow in between

The Lithgow factory didn't use small hand guards with re-enforcing slots across the top. That was generally a British thing.....
