    Lee Enfield Identification

    Gentleman (and perhaps ladies),
    I am new to this forum, and come seeking your expertise on the Lee Enfield series of rifles. I have long admired the Lee Enfield Rifleicon, as I think it is one of the best looking rifles every made, as well as a strong performer. I am currently in talks to purchase my first Enfield, a No. 4 MK 1. I was wondering if you all could help me identify it (where it was made, what year, etc.). This is a picture of what is engraved above the trigger.



    I did a little bit of research, but was stumped by what I found. Like I said however, I am new to Enfield collecting. Any advice you could give would be great. Thanks!


    Nate

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It was produced at the Royal Ordnance Factory at Fazakerley just outside of Liverpool in 1942.

    Mid'ish '42, I'd guess. (April?)

    Here's a December example. No time for pretty markings at Fazackerly during this time period!
