Rifles

Remington Model 14 1/2

Trivia

A typical British "rhomboidal" tank is used as a monumentum on a London square. Possibly this is a Mk IV as many tanks of this model were presented for display to towns and cities in Britain after the Great War.

A tank used as a monumentum is seen at the background while Moriarty's henchmen discuss their sinister plans at the foreground.
