Rifle 235
SMLE No. 1 Mk III*. Ishapore 1927. Another conundrum. I can't decide if this one goes with the Indians or the Canadians - which is why it shows up twice. In all respects it is a straight vanilla 1927 Ishapore although it does have a "C" broad arrow property mark in the right side of the buttstock. Marked on both receiver and knox form with the "C" and broad arrow. Stock disk is a standard "AA" (Allahabad Arsenal)with a 1939 date. Go figure. I am really baffled by this one, as the only two place that the Canadian and Indian armies ever were in immediate proximity were in Hong Kong in 1941 (unlikely) and Italy from 1943-1945. Finish is 90%. Wood is VG is Ishapore cartouches. Matched bolt, barrel, receiver, barrel, sight, nosecap, and forestock. No import marks.
