Any chance the LEC has Canadian militia markings?

 

[silverfoxdj]

LEC Royal Irish Constabulary Markings:

P14 Mystery Plate (Dutch Indonesian Colonial unit marking) - Thanks JP:

1915 BSA Australian D Broad Arrow Marked Mystery SOR Stock Disc (Perhaps City of Sydney's Own Regiment?):

According to Skennerton the markings on the Pattern 14 are Dutch Indonesian Colonial unit markings, I have had an Ishapore No. 1 MKIII* and a few Pattern 14 rifles with the same brass plate.

 

[Recce21]

Thanks JP!
I was wondering about that plate.
I am going to be picking up the remainder of the rifles today so I will flood this with pics in the next few days and if anything interesting is seen, feel free anyone to PM me before it hits the EE. I will try to keeop everything straight but by the look of my inbox recently, that could get dicey!

thanks Recee, if you find anything marked to the 12th Manitoba Dragoons or 99th Manitoba Rangers, let me know the little museum would probably want it.

1915 BSA Australian D Broad Arrow Marked Mystery SOR Stock Disc (Perhaps City of Sydney's Own Regiment?):

I think that 1915 BSA Australian D Broad Arrow Marked Mystery SOR Stock Disc is SUR instead of SOR for the - Sydney University Regiment (SUR).

The Indonesian P14 brass plates are correct, I have had a few of these Indo .303's -

 

[Recce21]

Thanks mkrnel!

I had a feeling the "O" might be a U. In real life it looks like a half struck O but I bet you are correct since I couldnt find the official short hand for the Sydney's Own Regiment but I did see the SUR shorthand.

The P.P.P. and PXVIII on the Indo plate still have me scratching my head.

I sorted through the bayonets last night and man, there are some mysteries and goodies in there too.

Here is a pic of the crates full of rifles I brought home. Each crate is holding 10-15 guns from full length Martini Enfields to Carbines and everything in between.

I suspect that some of your mystery sockets are for Martini and Snider Enfields.

 

[highbeam]

Any idea of the significance of the kukris? I've got one that was passed down through the family and the story about it seems to change or not add up as I'm sure many family stories do.

 

[Cb750k]

Nice! You sure got a load of great stuff.

 

[Recce21]

I suspect the same but ubtil I know for sure, iy is a mystery

Depends on the source. I bought mine, along with a couple buddies straight from Nepal. Neat knives, and they sure make fearsome weapons. They can de-limb a tree very very effectively.

 

[hollowedpoint]

What? No drilling pics? Lol

 

[Recce21]

I will post one in a bit only because of the ATHF avatar.
