Help verifying markings on Canadian Snider carbine

**#1oilman** · 01-12-2017 08:02 PM

I would like some help from Canadian Military Historians. I have attached photos of my DC (Dominion of Canada icon

) .577 Snider Carbine in the hope that someone can clarify the markings. I know that the carbines were primarily issued to Cavalry and Artillery units. I have searched online for pre WW1 Canadian regimental numbers but most info available is WW1. Does the A stamp stand for artillery or is it a Company or battery number? Likewise is the number 29 a trooper number, rack number or regimental number. Thanks

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.

Try asking on the british militaria site: britishmilitariaforums.yuku.com there is a separate forum for sniders. Someone there should be able to answer your questions.
Nice carbine. Have you shot it?
