Hi. I bought this old Carbine a few days ago. All clean and original, but definitely not mint. The interesting part is the inscription on the L. H.
Side Plate. It has M.L.T.H
18 91
J Glassford with a few scroll marks between and around date..
Markings have on the carbine forever, or longer.
Has any one one any idea what the ‘ M.L.T.H ‘ stands for, And does it look like Winchester engraving ?
Thanks, Eric

Eric,
First thing to do is get a letter on the gun to see if the inscription was factory. I do not know what MLTH stand for. I do have many 73’s in my survey with inscriptions, what is the serial number?

Bob. This is just a standard Carbine, Serial No. 306939 With a B. 44 WCF. NO other extra markings.
Thanks, Eric

It does look period engraved. Would love to see what a Cody letters holds for it.
