Hi    I have recently purchased a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 rifle. I am very happy with the rifle, but there are a couple of markings that I cannot identify. I have researched through my Enfield books, online etc, and cannot find real damning evidence of what they are. I would really love to finish the historic story of this rifle if i can and am hoping one of you will be able to let me close the curtain.   Here is what I DO know.   It was made in MALTBY SORRY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ABOVE🥵   Hi    I have recently purchased a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 rifle. I am very happy with the rifle, but there are a couple of markings that I cannot identify. I have researched through my Enfield books, online etc, and cannot find real damning evidence of what they are. I would really love to finish the historic story of this rifle if i can and am hoping one of you will be able to let me close the curtain.   Here is what I DO know.   It was made in MALTBY 1942 and has the correct AA serial number that corresponds with that time. (early- mid 1942) the other markings are: The british standalone broad arrow the GR below a crown with the crossed flags and letter P at bottom VNS on the ring of the foreend (VINERS ltd) S.L on the forend near the underside of muzzle (william sykes ltd) another marking on under side of the stock HM Co ltd (Hobson & Mathers)   The bolt does not match the serial number on the attached picture, and thats ok. But the rifle is a textbook example of British made using the dispersal or Decentralization method of wartime manufacture, Where multiple company's around UK send parts to MALTBY to be assembled, then shipped out. So we know where it was born and who most likely had it first.   Now , the only marks i cannot identify is a : N ontop of the number 76' Which also looks like its inside a chess looking piece outline.   On investigation there are 2 companies with the same name, that used the same code N76 : TEMPERED SPRINGS. One in NSW and one in MANCHESTER. It does NOT look like and aussie refurb marking?   ALSO   A mark on the receiver that is a: C on top of a 2, inside a circle.   Again this does not fit with any CANADIAN proof stamps i have seen.     Please could you take a look at the attachments and let me know if you have seen any of these before... Hoping for this last piece of knowledge about this fascinating rifle. Thankyou very much Danny

That's what I'm talking about  👍🙂

Early in the morning I walk around the market with my coffee and friends. Two different buddies were yard sailing, found them and brought them in. Coffee and helmets.    

Congrats! Man, you sure do score at your flea market(s)! 

ABN,   A very impressive collection and one I am sure you are proud to have.   Leigh 

Welcome southern neighbor! 

Hi everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member. I’ve been collecting militaria for a few years now, with a particular interest in historical firearms, edged weapons, and field gear. I’m always eager to learn more about the background and stories behind the pieces, and I really enjoy hearing from others who share the same passion. Looking forward to participating in the discussions, sharing a few items from my collection, and learning from the wealth of knowledge on this forum. Thanks for having me aboard!
