looks to be a sporter - im going by the checkering , its an early one , but we need to see more to know exactly what it is , could be a conversion , could be a commercial build , looks in good shape either way from what little we see here

As I understand (and away from my books at the moment) having a royal cipher means it was made for the military. From what I can see, the forend looks standard and it's acquired a very nice sportier butt along the way.
I'm with A square, like to see some more pics either way. The butt socket is in great condition, hope the rest is as good |

You are correct on the royal cipher Max. Commercial rifles do not have the cipher on them.

that is what i thought it to be , my computer shows only a wrist photo for this one so i do not see some of what others are commenting on , but i think we are all on the same page of it being originally a military rifle that has been sported and likely well done for the little i see
