When introduced after the First World War, the Model No. 13 rifle offered a lightweight, almost lady's or young person's style rifle to compliment the highly successful Model No.12 target rifle. The Model 13 was advertised as being suitable for "persons under 10 stone in weight and 5ft. 6in. in height. With a war-time gap, production went on well into the 1950s. The early, between the wars, production can be identified by the serial numbers being unprefixed. When re-introduced in the early 1950s, the rifles' serial numbers were prefixed with a capital letter "R".
