No.. Just 'PRESENTED BY W.E.ROLFE'. The plaque is 1.4 X .77 inch.

Re: rear sight
I wonder if W E Rolfe was a company sponsoring a match, or donating the rifle to a match winner? It wouldn't be unusual to not have the winner's name on the plaque since they wouldn't know who would win the rifle?
Might check for companies that existed in the area back then, and see if the name pops up?

I have done just that but can find nothing on-line and don't have facilities to check with trade directories etc. of the period.
Never mind it doesn't detract from a fine rifle.

I have a friend who has an account with I believe Ancestry.com, and does checks through that account. He tells me that it often brings up info that we can't find in a Google search.
