My Mk II and some questions

[hsr]

This is my Mk II. It is US marked and so is one of the 10,000 sold to the US government. The bayonet is also US marked

1) Can anyone tell me the how many *s it is? I see MK II on the butt, but I don't see any stars

2) How do you check head space? I have a set of .303 British head space gages and know how to use them on a Lee-Enfield, but a straight pull is different and it seems to always close on a field gage. Of course maybe that is accurate.

3) Finally I hear talk of a book, "The Ross Rifle Story". Assuming I can find one, what is a fair price?

Thanks and here are the pictures;
