    Gorgeous old girl! Just woken up, on night shift mode and had 3 - 4 hours sleep so brain is just kicking into gear, flick me some more photos of the areas with the proof and inspectors marks, looks as if rebarrelled in 1912 I will be able to tell you more, nice looking rifle, send as many images as you like to admin@allaboutenfields.co.nz, just an aside boiling water was extremely popular as it removed the corrosive salts from the mil ammo which is very corrosive, I've even a metal funnel specifically used for that very thing sitting around here somewhere, right I'm going back to bed!!!!
