Yup, I did that, as always. Saw some conflicting info so I asked here. ------------- 14EH AIT Instructor-PATRIOT Fire Control Enhanced Operator/Maintainer |

The cartouche is not South Africa in this case It is a broad arrow, S A for small arms, over I (part of the broad arrow tail) for Ishapore. |

I concur with Lance and Enfield Trader: neither South African nor South Australia. Post-1947 India. Here is a table of government markings commonly found on Enfield rifles and bayonets. https://enfield-stuff.com/Pages/2-codes_marks/2-1_codes_marks_govt.html" rel="nofollow - https://enfield-stuff.com/Pages/2-codes_marks/2-1_codes_marks_govt.html I'll update the table of Indian markings to include a sample more like the one on your rifle. ------------- Enfield-Stuff |
