Received this as a '03A3 band but speculation is that it might be Enfield.

In the Enfield world, an A within a C is a Canadian Arsenals marking.
That makes perfect sense. Looks like I have a Canadian Arsenals No4 lower band.
Thanks.
Looks more like a poorly stamped broad arrow in a 'C' to me. The Canadian acceptance stamp. Amounts to the same thing as Canadian Arsenals stamp.
CA is a postwar marking as they morphed Long Branch.Quote:

I always say, "Numrich is batting 1000 with me. They've never gotten an entire order correct yet!" True. Always something wrong even if it's just a small screw. :)
