    No. 4 Enfield magazine source...

    I recently came into possession of No. 4 magazine that is almost new (judging from overall condition and the lack of any visible wear on the follower). I thought perhaps someone here could shed some light on it's origins.

    On the rear locking tab are the letter "A B" under the number "4".

    The follower is marked "N.77".

    There is a four digit serial number stamped on the bottom of the magazine, which I assume is unit level numbers as the numbers are struck almost casually in an uneven row across the bottom.

    Can anyone ID the manufacturer for me? Or the country of origin if other than the UKicon? Many thanks in advance for any and all answers.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
