I have these three in my records;

4/R.R.1.48
6./R.R.7.55.
R.96.11.5.

The straight R.R. instead of cursive for WW1 says Recruiting Depot Regiment.
So, not really sure...

Default Grip strap markings

I was under the impression that military (not police) grip strap markings were discontinued after 1916.

They were re-instituted by the Reichswehr.
Though not all were marked, neither were they in Imperial times.

Phones have largely replaced the digital camera except for the extremely expensive ones for professional photography. My phone does as good or better than any camera I see at a Departement store, and it functions as a de-facto personal computer too.

Not in my "studio", or maybe my phone is just too "cheap".
My Pentax DSLR is 20 mega pixels, my phone is just 2!

But then I didn't buy my phone to take pictures or use as a computer!

I just noticed the Simson on the right has a more squared off rear curve above the loop unlike the gently curved Vickers on the left. there is a line you can feel on the Simson frame.

The Vickers loop is more square than the Simson
