PW marked disc.

**Anzac15** · 07-16-2012 01:10 AM

A friend of mine has a 1916 LSA with a buttstock disc marked simply 'PW'. Some research suggests Prince of Wales (which I kinda doubt) or Public Works battalion. Not a lot of certainty in either of these findings. Anyone have any insight into this marking?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

If it just has "PW" and no other markings, then it is probably just someone's initials - i.e. a civilian owner or even military shooting club team member. Initials and names are quite common on rifles from the era when a club rifle rack might contain twenty or so identical service-pattern rifles...
