Need a good pair of eyes on this martini henry cartouche

#1 Post by dirtbag »

Me and dad are looking at this mark II Martini. Has a cartouche on the stock that we cant make out. I have fiddled around with it to enhance it, but still cant make it out. Any of you guys recognise this ?

Cheers

Very difficult to see due the glare, but it could be BSA & Co Birmingham.

Have a look at this site : www.martinihenry.com

There is a wealth of information including markings both to the wood and the metal
