I have a P14 rifle which has had a brass strap added to the butt stock. This strap has been positioned partially over the original butt marking disc. The new strap has stamped onto it "CAU-SIE" over 8337. I have seen one other P14 with a similar marked strap but no one I have yet asked can identify the origin of the new marking strap. Can anyone in SA shed any light on this marking strap please?

I had the opportunity to ask Ian Skennerton about the P14. He believes that the marks are Belgium and that the rifles were issued to colonial troops in Africa. FYI.
