• Description:

  Snider MK 2 star, built by Enfield and converted at a later date to a Cadet Carbine.  The butt shows the DC diamond Canadian mark.  Above the DC is a Canadian unit marking 76th B # 247.  This was the 76th Battalion of Infantry HQ Saint Martine Quebec, a rural Quebec unit .  This cadet shows the barrel shortened to 19 1/8" with a bright very good bore.  The carbine shows the rammer chanel filled in.  The wood shows its obvious usage.  The butt plate shows additional markings CC (cadet Corps) over 86 over 10 which would be the Canadian Cadet unit.  The conversion of these Sniders mostly took place circa 1905.  A nice example with less common unit markings.
