Thanks.

PS have watched Vintage Rifle Shooting Club. Interesting.


All the rifle serial nos indicate the country of origin. One visual indication that it might be a T model is that it has been drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Every T model used five or six groove barrels. There have been fakes made over the years, so your friend’s dad would have to take it for an appraisal.

Safe Shooting!
