Dominion of Canada marked Winchester Saddle Ring Carbines

Anyone think the PN1 marking might mean Portsmouth Naval 1? Just wondering?

A possibility. SMELLIE has a ROSS with the stamp "PH" and a number on it. We think from the information we have, that this was for "Priddie's Hard", a Naval Base near Plymouth where ships took on Ammunition and supplies. ( A "HARD" is what we would call a Wharf; that is, a structure for Ships to tie alongside, but has land on one side of it. Docks and Piers stretch out into the water from shore with water on both sides. )
