    Another MkII*** Unit marking question...

    although I haven't received it yet, I am expecting a very nice Ross MkII*** with only two unit marks, as well as the US acquisition stamp. One one of the two is fairly visible in the photo provided by the seller. I have not been able to find any guide on line for deciphering and am wondering if anyone here can help. It appears to be G (or 6) FCCE over 10. Here is the mark:

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    A complete shot in the dark, but there was a "6 Field Company Canadianicon Engineers" that was raised in Vancouver, BC early in the Great War, and was subsequently deployed to Franceicon in early 1916...

    And farther up the stock it appears to be "6 DCOR" for "6th Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles", which was a pre-WWI militia unit in Britishicon Columbia.

    Unsanded stock so what a pity someone stripped it.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928
