Question on a Long Branch 1943

[Brian Dick]

Several of the ex-Greek owned Long Branch No.4 rifles I had sported the '46 date stamped on the butt socket. It was always an assumption that this was an inspection date for a workshop someplace. Maybe it's CAL or maybe it's Europe. No one seems to know. Maybe it's more likely to be Canadian as they never distinctively marked their rifles with FTR. It's definitely not a British FTR date.
