The wife strikes again! She surprised me with this one. A couple of months ago she bought herself a M38 mosin (I posted about it when she acquired it), and yesterday she surprised me with this guy.
It's a 1918(?) No1mk3* manufactured by RSAF. All numbered parts do match (including the magazine), I could not find any numbers on the stock set. It does have a couple LSA marks on the fore end along with the double arrow (sold out of service).
However I do have a couple questions, can anyone tell me if it's been through factory repair more than once? The barrel is dated '34, and I see a '36 mark on the left side of the receiver. Does anyone see any noteworthy stamps or have any fun tidbits of info they can enlighten me with?
Also, the rear sight leaf has been force
matched twice!
