1915 Sht LE Stock Markings

[zaitsev44]

For browningautomaticrifle, the paint up front is white. No question that the buttstock paint markings will stay. They do look like “FR” when held level though.
As for the pictures on the Knox form, they look like your standard Enfield affair. Looks like it was proofed (possibly rebarreled?) in early 1922, tonne proofed, stamped as rust found in bore, nothing entirely unusual that I can see. The barrel did have a very nice, even coat of old cosmoline under the wood, so it’s nice to know that hasn’t been messed with since she was in English possession.

Several colors were applied meaning different things, I just wondered if this might be the remains of one of those.
