I wonder what the S means. The number on the top rear of the receiver is much higher than mine which is only three digit. There is a story here which someone with more knowledge may be able to unravel for us.

    PS, The rifles in use in South Africa were carbines which our mystery rifle was not. The carbines were replaced with bolt actions in early 1900 while our mystery rifle was still a 577-450.
    How many complete carbines are around in NZ?
    Identify your target beyond all doubt
