1914 Enfield Birthday Rifle

**therno** · 08-05-2014 08:50 PM

Thought I would post some photo of this 100 year old girl. Got it several years back. All matching, came with disk. Was just missing the cut off which I replaced. I added the sling and the dated oiler.

I had the same question? Thought someone one here might know.

Is it just me or the fuzzy picture, but it looks like a .410 musket.

Could the disk be 5th (service) Battalion the Connaught Rangers, who were formed in August 1914 and were sent to Gallipoli.

I think Connaught Rangers is CT on the stock disc - see http://www.martinihenry.com/units.htm

Just a thought. Should this rifle had volley sights? Just saw this on GB
