Once again, I would like to hear from the experts out there regarding a LE that has been somewhat of a mystery to me for some time. I have a LE that started life as a 1917 LSA No 1 Mk111 that has been almost entirely converted to an Australianicon service LE. Original serial number has been crossed out, and all replacement numbers match. Aussie star proof marks all over barrel, 'D D' marking on top of receiver, buttstock marked with 'Australia'. My question is, knowing Lithgow made the Mk III, and ONLY the Mk III, why would they bother converting what was probably a worn out Britishicon manufactured rifle? Any answers or speculation would be appreciated. Will try to put some pics on.
