A note on the Army & Navy rifle:

The Army and Navy Co-Operative Society Ltd was formed in 1871 by British Army and Naval officers to supply articles of general use to society members at the lowest prices. The first store opened in 1872 at Victoria Street, London. By 1873, the store offered stationery, a drapery, fancy goods, tailoring, groceries, a chemist and a gun department. Membership was restricted to officers, non-commissioned officers and their families. (Friends could join by introduction and officials from the civil service could also join.) The Society grew to be a very large concern with depots at important army bases and naval ports. With a large demand from members in India, a store was opened in Bombay in 1891 and Calcutta in 1901.By the end of the 19th century the Society had a large annual illustrated catalogue.
