Cant edit... But the N76 stamp i referred to is not manchester but could be SHEFFIELD, my mistake

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!

Yesterday was Luftwaffe helmet day at the flea market.

For "stratasfan"...   I've included some images and sources...    Yes, this is the book on Allied Victory Medals, however, from what I briefly saw, it is WAY TOO SUPER ~ EXTRA overpriced.  Dude, it's not rare.  It's not some privately printed tome from a vanity press with a production of less than 500.  I have no idea why these going concerns want so much money for it.    As for me, I got mine from "Pieces of History" a couple of decades ago when it was $25USD postpaid.  I guess that's when there was no interest and no demand.  Sort of reminds you of those classic, legendary "Bender books".  I remember when they were reasonably priced and widely available.  It's not like it was half a century ago.  It wasn't.   They're out there.  Don't spend too much...   Sources:   https://www.ebay.com/itm/356778811918   https://www.amazon.com/Interallied-Victory-Medals-World-War/dp/0961732016   https://www.subchaser.org/laslo-interallied-victory-medals   https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-inter-allied-victory-medals-of-world-war-1---2nd-revised-edition_alexander-j-laslo/14165616/?srsltid=AfmBOoplq-LC3D7JWyLW72wcx5aUaBYFAgbzHhRRI5aqfCOVTzOnrkEo#edition=60217064&idiq=48146399   Check this one out, just out of curiosity...   https://www.etsy.com/listing/1177962787/reproduction-ww1-16-inter-allied-country
