All numbers match. Marked to the 18th Dragoon Regt 3rd Squadron on both the barrel band and butt. The stock is original to the rifle but unfortunately has been sanded and refinished. The cartouches are visible but faint.

If there isn't a regimental mark on the nosecap or siderail and the barrel band is missing-- nope, no way to tell. It's not like SRS and they can pull SNs and identify where it may have been issued.

If there is a unit marking anywhere, share pics and we can help you identify it.
