Need some help...Enfield experts im looking at you.

[Colonel Enfield]

I thought that DP meant they were certified "IRA" guns, as every one knows DP stands for "Die Protestants". The RUC would quack when they saw the yellow bands, knew they were in for a tough fight............Good show, what.....

Now if you doubt that let me send you the letter on that..it is documented.

FTR Stands for "For Training Recruits",

ZF stands for "Zimbabwe Police"

BER stands for "Berlin" rare rifles issues to Secret cold war West German Berlin police force unit. So secret all photos taken of this elite unit were only taken on a dark night with no moon.

FR on the wood stands for "Force République " arms issued to the Free French units in Great Britain after Dunkirk.

GF stands for "Guard Force", the guns were wrapped with wire so that the prisoner of war guards could use them like clubs, mostly on the German Luftwaffe POWs captured when they bombed Pearl Harbor in 1940 (covered up by FDR so as not to embarrass the Canadian Primer minister).

I did find all this amusing

Just to be that guy, though - in case someone accidentally stumbles across this thread during a Google search for Lee-Enfield markings; that's not what the abbreviations mean.
