ross rifle marking help

[mrclean89]

Morning everyone and Merry christmas! Picked this up the other day along with a 1910 that has all the markings gone.

This one however has no shortage.

I'm guessing royal canadian regiment ?

Anymore insights into the markings ?

Cheers, McLean

At some time, it was issued to the Royal Canadian Regiment. The other numbers are probably Battalion and/or Regiment and/or Company designation . It's a Mk.II*
