    Martini Henry Mk IV Pattern B(?) Markings

    I recently picked this up. The only information I have on it is that it came to Canadaicon from somewhere in Africa back in the 1970s.

    It's the additional stampings I am curious about.
    1. Numeral "37" with stroke through it
    2. "RAM 850"

    Anyone familiar with African colonial markings can help explain these markings? Attachment 105268
    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.

    The pic looks like AMR 850!

    Most MkIV Martinis I've seen have been from the Nepal cache and have Britishicon and Indian arsenal roundels/markings and such on the butt-stock plus clear Nepal markings on stock and metal.

    Sorry, you are correct. It is actually "AMB." Must have been tired. Will correct above.
