Your header states Wakefield & Co. Is the rifle marked with makers name, and does it have proof marks? Also the side of the action with scroll engraving suggests a "civilian" version. The forewood also appears to have been shortened. This would normally be full length on a military version. I am somewhat interested to know if it still has proof marks etc, as most of the rifles found in arabian tribal hands were either stolen from armouries, or copied. In my opinion, either way, the marks were not usually present. What is the caliber? Regards Stuart |
