Todd,<br><br>A word of advice, don't use xxx at the end of any serial number!!!! If you are asking people on this site for information or any help we need to know the serial number, the COMPLETE serial number. It will help the experts tell much about your gun, model, date of manufacture, date of iss...

What you mention is kind of along the lines I was thinking. I forwarded your photos to my brother for input and he mentioned that maybe the gun was used during WWI and/or WWII by the home guard. Thus the rondel with crossed canons. He threw out that maybe the CA stood for Coastal Artillery. Just a t...

Clyde,<br><br>Thanks for the two photos you e-mailed me. Unfortunately, I can't find anything like them in my Handbook of Military Rifle Marks. Do you know any of the history of this gun? The reason I ask is that the marks may be something to do with a National Guard unit or American Legion post or ...

I can't find anything right away that matches your description. Photos would probably be helpful. If you could send them to me at my e-mail pbutts@stny.rr.com

Mitch,

I saw that too and thought it was kind of strange. It is listed as a "live auction". I don't know how that is different and how it gets past their rules, though.

Strange stuff....

Gil,<br><br>I must offer to you my <u>most humble</u> apologies!!!!! I addressed my previous comment on this post to the wrong person. My brother Ned just brought this to my attention. When I read the initial post I was in a hurry to respond to it and I didn't even think. Yours was the last name I s...

Gil,<br><br>Just for future reference, the post you have started here is not a forum item but a classified item. We have a classified section of our site and that is where this should have been listed.<br><br>Because you have already gotten responses on the forum, I will not move the post to the mem...

Nord,<br><br>Good point, well stated! It is interesting how words like "sniper" and "carbine" and "bayonet with cavalry scabbard" get thrown around quite generously on auctions. <br><br>And, nice job not biting! I know you are not dangerous, and one of the good guys!!! ...
