Description:
"Natal" pattern. Firstly, there were TWO batches issued to Natal. 60 at first, followed by 700 over the period 1894-95. The Natal pattern had the VI cancelled, and over-stamped "II", as is this. A butt disc was added only to the NATAL rifles (as is this). The black powder sight was replaced with a sight graduated for black powder (as is this). the NATAL pattern was originally fitted with a top hand guard, which was full-length between the knox-form and the rear sight to protect the soldier's hand from getting burnt, and for ease of carrying. As most of these became cracked, or were lost, it was decided to remove all of the remaining hand-guards for reasons of uniformity in the early 1900's.
