Is Canada the only country ever...

[flashman2]

...to mark it's service rifle in two languages?

I can't think of another.

Belgium for sure and many years before us.

 

[Kampfhamster]

Switzerland?

I don't mean on like an FN contract Mauser; the rifles come with those markings from a foreign manufacturer in their own language. Indeed, technically the Inglis Hi Power is also marked bilingually as the copyright on the slide reads Browning-FN. So do the C9 and C6, they have Fabrique Nationale stamped on the side too. I mean bilingual markings added by the country that adopted them such as Canadian Forces Canadiennes on the C7.

Belgian army markings were bilingual on the Mausers.

 

[Grock-co]

You mean like a cereal box, English on one side the French on the other,

.... Flamande and Walloon on the Mausers, I think.
