Hi,
I'm looking to identify on old rifle for my father-in-law.
Of all the rifle pictures I have seen on the internet, none is an exact match.
Here is what I know.
20 years ago a gun collector told him that the rifle was made in 1914 and that it was owned by a military officer.
-The rifle is a 5 rounds, .303 cal., sporting rifle.
-There is a coin inserted in the rifle with "Edisonia Winnipeg" written on it.
-There are some engravings:
-The numbers "54158" (serial number?)
-The letters "RE" with a circle around them.
-A crown, the letters "GR" or "GH", some flags with the leather "P"
-An other crown with "81 A" under it. (There are other similar engraving to this one but there were to faded)
-The number 16 with a big arrow over it.
Thanks for the help
