nota smle per se: but a 22 with all the British markings

[Peter Laidler]

That's it! The little W within a Crown is the Woolwich Small Arms inspectorate which approved the imported weaponry and approved it.

It doesn't appear on the P14's and No4's of course because they were made for us. I'm just presuming this...... as opposed to being an off-the-shelf purchase.
