Lee Enfield markings

[Patrick Chadwick]

Found this one as a comparative sample but it's only a two letter job:

Well I though the markings on my Mosin-Nagant "snaipr" looked as if they were clobbered on by a Stakhanovite worker who over-achieved his quota with the help of generous quantities of high-percentage fuel. But those markings make the Mosin look sober. Maybe the tea was too strong? Or perhaps they stood on the other side of the workshop and threw the punches at the rifle? Note that the first stamping was so b--- awful that someone was driven to try it again, a bit more legibly.
