This 1905 built rifle is stamped "C11" on buttstock and a light electric penciled "Simpson Ltd" import marking beside the lever link on receiver bottom. This was purchased in Canada from Canadian Industries Ltd. It was a test gun, from the Ammunition Division. Receiver is flaking but still retains 75% blue. Barrel and tube show 60% blue with stains and scratches. Wood is sound with many marks under some added oil. The butstock may have been replaced at some point. This was one of a small number of arms that were not destroyed after the closing of the CIL plant in Quebec. A 1894 Winchester with some history of its usage.
