Contextual information
This is a British Magazine Lee‑Enfield (MLE) / Lee‑Enfield Mk I long rifle made by BSA in 1902, later Australian‑owned and restocked or reissued in May 1905.
The Commonwealth of Australia roundel on the butt with “5/05” follows the usual Australian practice of dating a stock or issue/rebuild, so this indicates Commonwealth ownership with a butt dated May 1905.
