Martini Enfield 303

[Oysters]

G'day Gents,

I've very recently had the opportunity to get a hold of this nice looking Martini Enfield 303, and immediately got a hold of it (would have been rude not to in my opinion). It's been purchased in Australia.

Now I admit I hadn't done much in the way of research on these as there doesn't seem to be a great deal of information relating specifically to the Enfields, this one appears to be dated both sides so I had assumed its been converted at some point.

Just looking for any further information the wonderful resource that is this community can provide on the markings, the wood markings proved impossible to photograph and are quite faded anyway though the metal marks are the best on one of these I've personally seen.

With it came this old bayonet form another corner, which I'm sure had zero relation to this particular rifle, however does seem to go onto this make/model, though I'm unsure if that is the case, or if it is, how exactly it fits or the purpose/orientation of the screwed piece.

It's a very clean rifle for it's age and I'm very much looking forward to making some loads to feed it and try it out, but would feel incomplete without learning more about it.

Thanks for all your time
