    Unless the picture is distorted from top to bottom, the RLB stamp, at least, is a fake. Too "tall". Coincidentially, there was another Remington for sale on the CMPicon forum with the same type marking.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    That's really what also my friend was thinking, of possible fake cartouches.
    Fullstops are missing too and I think also the rectangle around the three letters.

    Thank You again, Rick.

    The "RLB" inspectors mark is definitely counterfeit. Some of the others are very unusual. The serial number range is a little high for a lend lease based on the ones I have experience with. One of the more studious guys may elaborate on the lend lease serial range. Here is an example of the correct inspector mark from one I have in the 3,051,000 range...
