Here's a poor quality photo of Patterson himself (on left) with one of his rifles; I can't make out what it is from this photo.

That one appears to be a Martini. This one *may* be the Lee-Medford. Oh and some of them were not true .303 rifles, but had bores measuring .299 on the lands and .309 in the grooves, as did some Canadian straight-pull Ross rifle's of that same pre-turn-of-the-century era.

I'd expect he was quite proficient with either.
