I picked up this .303 Sporting Martini this week.

It was made in England for W.Rawbone, Cape Town.

It looks similar to My Greener Martini Sporting rifle but there are just enough subtle differences make me think they are not related.

Here are the marks on the gun, I know what some are. I am hoping you gentleman are more knowledgeable than me and better able to decipher them. I hope will be able to give me some idea when this gune a made and maybe even who made it.

First the caliber markings. These Marking to me indicate the gun is from the very early days of the .303, 1890's. TH rifleing is Metford

Here are the proof and view marks.

This may be a trademark
