Hello again all..here are pics of a 1945 Long Branch No 4* that I bought about a year and a half ago, sold to a friend of mine, and bought back today. The buttstock is carved in Greek characters, and I translated them when I first got it (have it on a piece o' paper somewhere) Anyway, apparently this No 4* was one of who knows how many rifles that went to Greece to fight the commies after WW2. One of the places carved on here is Kokinna, which I believe is Cyprus(?) and the year 1971. The owner/users nameis on here as well. Will have to find the paper with all the translations. Just wondered what event took place on Cyprus in 1971. Did the Turks try another takeover? Would really like to get an idea what this rifle was involved in..enjoy the pics!
