If anyone is able to supply photos of different HG markings I would greatly appreciate it. I think these rifles are a very undervalued and neglected aspects of the NZ Enfield story and as such need to be documented and recorded.
Also I would be extremely curious of any full-bore calibres that are not Enfield’s or Metfords that are HG marked.
