My boxed .177 Centenary is complete and in pristine condition. Even the gunbag's handles are undamaged. The original owner, who has since passed away wrote his post code on the stock in see through security ink. I have the provenance to prove I acquired the rifle legitimately and this originally left me with a dilemma - should I try to remove the post code and if so, how without damaging the stock or do I leave it as is? I opted for the later as after all, the mark is part of this particular rifle's history, rather like the markings often encountered on pre war BSAs.
