REGIMENTAL ENFIELDS
Virtually every Enfield rifle in use between 1903 and
1915 was stamped with a unique mark that indicated
the regiment the rifle belonged to. The practice was
briefly suspended during WWI, resumed at the war's
end, then gradually fell out of favor until the practice
disappeared in the 1950's. This
page is where we collect regimentally marked Enfield
rifles and examine the what we know of the rifle, the
regiment, and what was going on in the world at the
time that the rifle was issued to that regiment. Rifles
slowly migrate from the Enfield
Queue to this page as our research progresses. First
up: a Mk III* marked to the King's
African Rifles (1918).
ENFIELDS IN QUEUE
This is both our backroom storage area and a
preview of the rifles that will end up on display somewhere. This
is where we house Enfields that need additional research
(as well as cleaning). organized by country and regiment. This
page is always in transition as
rifles are added or moved from the Queue.
