Strange Enforcer

[Alan de Enfield]

Can you photograph the number on the bolt handle (using macro setting)?

Maybe sharper photos would help, but at least four things on that action do not look "right" for an Enforcer to me.....

I dont have the action, its at an RFD, but, I'll ask.

Ignore me - not seeing clearly and seems to be impossible to delete posts...

Here are a couple of better pictures.

The bolt has no serial number but has been proofed and is stamped with the 19T proof mark.

Hey Alan The style of ingraving is 100% the same as my Enforcer, maybe they did start using other bodys on the last batch made??

[Alan de Enfield]

The engraving is the same type / font as my Enforcer 483, the only difference being there sems to be an area 'milled off' on 483 that presumably gave its original model / type number.

Some time ago someone posted 3 pictures showing the different engraving formats used during the life of the Enforcer, maybe someones still got it ?

I really must try and improve my pictures - maybe Father Christmas will bring a new camera for Christmas ???

Thanks Neal - here are the three types (any chance you can get a clearer pic of the 'middle one' showing the engraving?)

1st pic seems to be the engraving 'design' on the lower numbered Enforcers (mine No 134 and has this type.

2nd pic seems to be the middle serial numbers

3rd pic is the higher numbers (my No 483 has this type)

The middle pic of mine shows a Enforcer THAT HAS HAD ITS numbers removed !!
Several are like like from a particular Police force. The number was still on the butt (inside the socket) I have seen at least 2 like this. The first picture is early Enforcers. The "STORY" is these started out as ENVOYS , but had that removed and Enforcer added. Peter Laidler comments that all Lee Enfield actions/bodies were made in the 50's and are not later made. Just left overs from the Faz factory. Plausable when my 684 Enforcer has a british broad arrow and several stamps with 50/pb on it
The enforcer Alan has IS slightly different, each person will have done differently thou!
