It's been a long dry spell...

Washington eh? Any import marks?

It's anyone's guess, but it might have been brought back from the war by someone who ended up in Canada and then moved south. Many did in the 20s and 30s.

Anything on the disc? Any C Broad Arrow marks?

Don't have her in hand yet, so no idea on import marks (although in this case they might not be a bad thing). The disk is marked to the 3/2 Gurkhas, a unit that was active during both wars. The 2nd Gurkhas were all over the place during the Great War, especially in the near east, so Turkish capture is a possibility...some real time capsules came out of Turkey the last go around. It's also EY stamped.

In reality, anything at this point would be pure speculation, but it certainly looked good enough to give it a shot. Keeping fingers crossed.

Here ya go JR.... Just got my lazy arse out to take some "after" pics. Half way through it started to sprinkle so I was a little rushed. The link to picturetrail is of pics as the rifle was when I got it. Sadly, a light sanding and varnish had occurred so I removed the varnish and linseed oiled for a couple of weeks. I'm ok with it. My personal opinion of this rifle is that it never saw any battlefield use at all. Everything is as LSA original as I have ever seen on any rifle that I've ever owned. Even the screw heads are nearly all in pristine condition and all the serial number fonts appear to perfectly match. Opinions and or evaluations appreciated.
