I figure since this is the primary forum I visit and since all of you have been so supportive of my endeavor on a book dealing with Maltby No 4 rifles I would post a status update here. Over the past year I have taken many pictures of Maltby rifles and have gotten many from here and elsewhere. I can say my research findings are interesting and have shed some light on inspector numbers. The wrist markings are still a mystery though. It will probably be a couple years but a step will be making a trip to England to look at some archives. When that happens, beforehand, I will put ads in papers to ask for interest in any locals that had family members who worked at the Maltby factory, to hear their stories and record what I can. As I have said before, this will be a long process since I have a full time job and this is my side project. In the end, thank you all for keeping an eye out and helping. Also, Canuck, I still want pics of your Maltby's

Bear, I must apologize as I have been remiss in taking photos of my Maltby holdings. I will try to get those done ASAP. I have a gun show to attend tomorrow where I am picking up a new purchase (an E.A.L Canadian air force survival rifle) but after that I will give it a try. My photographic skills suck but I'll do my best.

Bear; Just a suggestion..you may want to contact Royal Legion in Blighty with your request. I'll bet bangers & mash to donuts that the decendants will be there & willing to help.

Bear, if you want any specific photos of my French Resistance 1944 Maltby rifle let me know. You could send a PM with similar photos of what you need. There are no civilian stamps on this rifle, it is as it was in 1944.

Absolutely! My wife hasn't cooked a meal in 30 years! One of my go-to comfort foods is Steak and Kidney Pie! Yum! I first tasted it in '86 when our rugby club toured England and Wales for two weeks. That, and black pudding! Luckily we have a British butcher just out of town that still makes black pudding.

With a pint or two of dark beer.

I've never tried haggis but would in a minute. I do believe our local British butcher just out of town makes it. He does have sheep.

I love black pudding! In French it's called 'boudain'. I grew up eating that stuff. Hard to find out here in BC though. Mashed potatoes and gravy and you have a meal!

I get good Bllod Sausage here. I'll get the name of the packer for ya. (I just can't remember it rite now. ) I do remember they are a Federally Inspected plant. My dad likes it too. Reminds him of the blood sausage his Irish mother made back on the farm during the depression. (She would make it whenever they slaughtered a pig.) He also misses her pigeon pie!

Ate dove quite a bit when working in the southern US. Is good, suspect pigeon would be similar. Me thinks same family? My mom takes about eating pigeon and squirrel on the farm in Manitoba, late '20's early '30's.

Actually, I've also had Robin. While working down south, worked with alot of people from Louisiana. They swore it was the best tasting game bird! I reminded them where I was from it wasn't a game bird, and I believe protected. All I got was blank stares, not comprehending the idea of not being able to shoot anything then eat it!! They were good pals.
