The Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed on the 1st January 1901, whereby the six colonies became a federation, and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Hello again MOS, 1901 to 1911 is a difficult period of Australian history to research accurately. One set issued by the UK Manufacturer for example B.S.A., and a second set stamped by the relevant State.Ĭheers right back at you!!!:yup: **************************** ************************* All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Most of the Martini Cadets ordered up until 1911, have what appears to be two sets of serial numbers. ![]() ![]() Do you know of any way to relate that to date of manufacture? My date stamp is 8.11 So it seems my Cadet was issued in August 1911. ![]() And so another question to help clear something up.I understand the numbers stamped in the stock are not serial numbers but more like inventory numbers, and the date stamp indicates date of issue and not manufacture date. Thanks Herb!! Have to admit, the front sight threw me a curve, had an inkling, I remember reading somewhere about sight protectors, but knowing what I know is nothing compared to what I don't know about the Cadets, I had to ask.
