There is a good booklet that details all the authorised butt marking disc info used by Britain up to 1942 or so. Available from Brian at BDL

+1 Get the booklet, it is worth having around. I just wish the author signed my copy!!

I know nothing about these things, so here's an uninformed guess

10th British Columbia Field Artillery or something of that ilk.
Rifle No. 19

10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery?

Rifle 19

10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery?

Rifle 19

That must be the answer! And here they are:

so at least that is one rifle for which one has some idea of where it's been!

Thanks for the replies

I am in the process of buying this rifle. I will post some good pictures when I get it

IF it is 10th Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery, it will be interesting as that was a WWI unit. This carbine (I suspect a carbine based on the stamps) is marked with the M&D which is the Canadian Militia and Defence stamp usually seen on the late Martini's and the Long Lees, LMC, LEC. You don't see it on the Short Lee's. I wasn't aware that the CFA went overseas with carbines, but I suppose it is possible. I think there was a British Columbia Garrison Artillery or some such thing--I have a Martini marked with that regimental mark. That might be more likely based on dates?
