If anyone is able to supply photos of different NZ Home Guard Rifles and their markings I would greatly appreciate it. I think the NZ Home Guard 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. I would also be interested in images around .22 NZ Home Guard Rifles. These had different lettering such as SP or SPS.
