Hi. I have a 1894 Bonehill .22 convertion mk 11 Martini Henry Artillery carbine. Can anyone tell me what the letters SAA stand for. These letters are engraved into the stock.
Thanks.

Hi Iceman, welcome to MAH.
Can you post up photo's of the markings?
I think it means Small Arms Ammunition, possibly done after a .303 conversion?

Welcome to the forums Iceman. Good to see you got your computer problems ironed out.
Re: Martini Henry SAA
Thanks for the info. I'll try and post a photo of the stock, as it has a few markings i can't find in ref books.
Will ask joseyclosey for advice on posting photo's.
Thanks again for your replys.
