Article about: Gentlemen, I'm trying to find out the meaning of some markings applied on a 1913 BSA MkIII: one is on the buttstock, the other is on the stock disk. The rifle still retains the older feature

Re: Help on BSA MkIII markings
The numbers are the number of rifle, brass disk has regimental markings, rest of the markings are various British acceptance/test etc
try here Markings on British and Commonwealth Bayonets
7th Foot The Royal Fusiliers (The City of London Regiment) R.F.

Re: Help on BSA MkIII markings
Thanks Ph3s; the number on the disk is indeed "1"; so, 1st foot R.F.? And what does mean P.W.?Again, I'm curious about the "star" impressed on the wood; any clues?

Re: Help on BSA MkIII markings
7th foot is the old name of The Royal Fusiliers , so it would be 1st Battalion of The Royal Fusiliers weapon number 844.
Do check the link above for British & Co markings
