    1st 1903 Acquisition

    All,
    Please check out my "impulse buy", comment and don't sugar coat them. I normally spend time in the Enfield Forum and this is my first foray into the 1903 world.

    It has a very faint Ordinance Ball and small cartouche surrounded by a rectangle that looks like "FJA" on the left side of the stock by the cut off knob. There are no import marks at all.

    The other interesting thing is the Flaming Ball on the barrel has a square stamp inside the ball, not sure if it means anything.
