    03A3 "I" Cartouche?

    Is this a cartouche, and if so, what does it denote? I took off her repro sling tonight to replace with an original 1907, and I saw this mark for the first time, it has escaped me all these years. The stock is really nice and the mark is really crisp, so I assume it's a cartouche and not a dent. I did a google search and could find nothing on this mark, so it's time to ask the experts. Thanks guys.

    The rifle is a June 1943 Remington. The stock is pinned, with a "no box" FJA, crossed cannons, circle P.

    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.

    Probably a subinspection stamp of some sort. There is little or no information out there on them.
