Question about 1941 Lithgow No.1 MkIII with Chinese? markings.

[Sapper740]

At least you'll have one.

I currently own one Lithgow but it's a "bitzer" as the antipodeans like to call it so I'm hoping this one is a little bit better. The auction ends in a little over 4 hours and even at my maximum bid if I win I'm getting it very cheap. As I stated I'm no Lithgow expert but what got my attention, other than the "Chinese? markings" (LOL) is that this appears to be a MkIII which might make it a little rarer? I surfed the interweb looking at as many pictures of Lithgow SMLE's that I could find and most were MkIII* from that time period. I asked in an earlier post if the picture in the original post showed a MkIII. not a MkIII* but received no responses. If I win the auction I'll post more and better pics.
