    Can anyone ID the maker for me?

    I have this Alf Parker - ized No4 1/2, and am quite puzzled as to the maker and year. The FTR info is quite clear, would this also be a Fazakerly make and what year? It's FB 24964.
    Many thanks for any help. For whats its worth, its center bedded and fiendishly accurate.

    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.

    Unless they changed the number during FTR, it would have been a Fazakerley originally - possibly 1943.

    I suppose you've already tried, but you can nearly always make out the original Fazakerley electro-pencil marks under the rearsight. Oil the metal and then use a very bright light and a magnifying glass.
