I was just rooting around my parts bin and found a brass disc and screw from an old No1 Sporter someone gave me years ago. Having know interest in No1's back then, I just put it away. I was hoping someone could identify the markings. At the 12 o'clock position is;
R.F 9.16 At the 3 o'clock position; R.1 At the 6 o'clock; 517 At the 3 o'clock; 95 Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

RF = The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) 9.16 = September 1916 517 = Probably the 'Rack Number' Until 1881 they were known as the "7th Foot" |

That's stage 2 'Enfielditis"! There's no cure after that point. |
