I guess, Mr. Barnes was a member of the British 37 FIELD SQUADRON, who was based at the Canal Zone in Egypt from 1952 - 1954 and repaired the Triebel for a companion who got it some years earlier in WW II in Germany. The plate was probably a kind of joke. It's only a guess of course...!

Cheers,

It's a great old gun!
