My research has not turned up any definitive information, so I'm turning to the experts for this one. If anyone knows positively what the brass plate denotes, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks to all of you for your input, but when I sort this all out I seem to get a lot of "probables". Now, to add to the mix, a pretty knowledgeable guy at a local gun show states pretty definitively that it's Quebec Home Guard. So, round and round she goes again!

    We did use them for home guard after all. That's what they were relegated to for WW2.
