Update on rifle bolt found Sat.

I cleaned the rifle bolt up as much as I could and discovered some interesting features about it.
I went onto a site "bolt action rifles WW1 Canada" and up came a bunch of guns and a really great picture of my bolt.........Turns out it belonged to the "ROSS RIFLE" the most INFAMOUS rifle of WW1 because of "jamming" problems one soldier in his diary wrote "I might as well have thrown my gun at the enemy for all the good it did" .........Interesting or what??.......HH......Johnnn

I wonder if the soldier who lost the bolt was so hacked off by clearing jamming problems that he just through the dang part away (and then couldn't find it before the sergeant showed up).
