    grips away

    Got the scales off. Here's the pic's. I've had a much more careful look at it again & am sure it's what it looks like & has been telling me - a chopped '03. Who ever did it went to a lot of trouble blending that mid rib into the point not to mention getting a snug fit of the custom scales around the step in the metal where the quillon was removed. Then someone (surely not the same person?) hacked the pommel off! New markings found are 1 & 03 beneath the crown & ER (under the scales in front of the quillon scar) & 6 (or 9) near the rear scales screw hole. I'm taking 03 as 1903. 1 is ? On the other side & dotted about under the scales are N, Q, O, U and a circle (near the Pommel). There are also, smaller and fainter, a small crown (?) over a 2 over M. Above the quillon scar but under the wood is an X (bend proof?) and the other letter in the group C6 or CG etc is an E (Enfield inspection mark?). Comments if you will? Thanks again. Jim.
