Mike,

Yes, 1915 is a little late. I think the last year of production was 1899 or thereabouts. I'm not sure about the front end - I'm not that experienced with M-Hs either. However, someone at the genuine Enfield factory would have been shot for stamping the 'R' in 'VR' upside-down!

This looks like a NW Frontier product and, no, I'm not going to fire it.

I hope your son stays safe.

Nigel.
