Hello

Thank you for your answers.
Then the IS does not belong to the serial number but stands for Indian service?
What only surprises me is that there are no other unit marks on the rifle.
Where was it from 1916 to 1942?

Regards Arno

Quite possibly sitting in stores, they fell out of favor quickly and many couldn't un-hand them quickly enough...
