Also, here's the tang on my 1896 BSA MLE Mk.I (MD marked). 6TH, just like englishman.ca's. I'm not sure what that means.

Wild guess, the 6th Foot:
6th Foot (Royal Warwickshire Regiment)

Nyles,

Would you be so kind as to show us a pic of your 1896 BSA MLE Mk.I, please

1905 Mki Smle

BSA co. 1905 MKI Lee-Enfield first issued to Australian Light Horse (ALH). Later used as grenade launcher (EY/2). Forearm shows evidence of being wire wrapped. Bet this old boy could tell a few tales! Oddly enough, there is a twin to this MKI in the Canadian Scottish Museum here in Victoria. Same ALH and EY/2 markings and still wire wrapped. I got this one about 10 years ago while still living in Ottawa.
