beestonboxer Posted 8 August , 2014 Share Posted 8 August , 2014 Just purchased a 303 Martini Enfield , can anyone tell me what 1.D.M.A on the brass butt roundel stands for ? I take it that the A is for Artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerhunter Posted 9 August , 2014 Share Posted 9 August , 2014 As far as I can remember there has only been one British Military Academy, the one that is currently located in Camberly - the RMA Sandhurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbox Posted 9 August , 2014 Share Posted 9 August , 2014 Dehradun Military Academy is in India, but that wasn't established until the 1930s - so unlikely to linked to Martini Enfields. Anyway, an academy would have a rack number, and I'd guess the OP doesn't happen to have rifle number 1 out of 600 or so... Some sort of unit. Any other markings on the rifle?

beestonboxer Posted 9 August , 2014 Author Share Posted 9 August , 2014 The only other marks on the roundel are 11 , 1898 and 191 which I believe are the date and rack number, has all the usual stamps doted about but nothing to determine any regimental connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
