Savage with LB mark

[boltaction]

Does an LB mark on the socket of a Savage #4 just indicate that the rifle was refurb'd at some point at LB, or was there some double stamping done during the war? I know that some LB rifles on occasion have S stamped parts on them, but haven't run across this one before. Maybe I just didn't notice.....

It is a standard 1943 No 4 Mk I*, with the 39C series serial number set over the the Square S and the date, with a crisp LB cartouche next to the S. No FTR marks. No C Broad Arrows that I see. Doesn't look like it was used, so might well be a refurb but the marks are very crisp.
