LB #4 markings

**Ian Robertson** · 12-02-2008 04:45 PM

Can someone tell me what the markings are/mean in the photos? The * is on the left side of a butt socket and the wood is the extreme front end.

Thanks!

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.

Is the mark on the butt socket a Cdn. sale mark? Brit. mark is broadarrows point to point, this looks like that inside the "C". The mark on the forend looks to be a C/l\ property mark.

I have seen the C* on a few and I think it must be a disposal mark of some sort but I don't know for sure.

I wouldn't be surprised if the mark was placed on No. 4s released to DCRA/PRA members for target shooting. I remember a chap who bought one from the COD in Montreal in 1962, for $45, if my memory has not failed me.
