I had the front wood off my RFI No.4 and while there looked at all the cool proofs and markings on the barrel and action.

The old rifle is probably a Maltby made No.4 Mk.I refurbed and remarked in India. Pretty certain the action and barrel are an original WWII assembly. It is a two groove barrel and I cannot see any seams or pins to indicate it's a two piece barrel.

On the bottom of the barrel there is odd series of slash marks / V l l that are like 1/4" tall.

I did some forum searches and couldn't find anything. Does anybody know what the marking / V l l might mean or indicate??

Thanks HT
