It looks like Arabic in the star. Who in the Arab world had Enfield tooling? Pakistan?

There appears to be the remains of a 1917 date below the "1955" of the butt socket.

"Indonesian star, maybe?"
Indonesian star, yes.
See page 588 of "The Lee Enfield".

I'll look when I get home! Never seen one for real.
Any more pictures? It looks like its been in Indonesia "outside" since 1955, but that's fine w/ me.
ETA I gotta keep all my lore in me pea brain when using the internet, because its not where my references are!

So... Someone would have bought tooling from a closing factory, and resumed production?

Well, the BSA plant was still in production of No 4Mk1's in Pakistan, the Fazarerley plant was still up and humming with Mk II's in 1955 in the UK, so who would that be? I've not heard nor read of other plants being sold. An Ishapore plant, perhaps?
