Very nice early WWI issue Ross Mk III, dates 1914, with issue marks to 24th Batt’n CEF 746 (Victoria Rifles). After seeing action with the CEF this rifle was exchanged to the British. After being exchanged for SMLE’s, the British reissued the Rosses to the Royal Navy stamped with British ownership numbers, and they became part of the on board armoury of various warships. The battleship HMS Canada, was ordered by Chile prior to the start of WWI but not delivered. With the outbreak of war, the British appropriated the battleship. After the war, HMS Canada and several destroyers were sent to Chile, and their on board rifles and bayonets were included. The Chilean Navy renamed the battleship the Almirante Latorre, and stamped the Ross rifles with a DA Navy ownership number on the receiver. The bayonets were stamped to match the rifles. This rifle is early production, would undoubtedly have seen trench action with the 24th Battalion, then received Royal Navy stamps, and Chilean Navy stamps. IT has the matching bayonet and the bolt is also stamped to match, DA98.
