    Just purchased

    A Ross MK IIIB it has P14 type sights and markings that seem to indicate a connection Lithgo in Australiaicon. The marking are as follows.

    On receiver Serial number 5483 under a capital letter A, a crown over crossed lances with a p under lances and the usual Ross M 10.

    On barrel again crown lances and p, a crown 2C with an E under it, a large arrow head?, a large letter N and something very small I can't make out.

    Stock has markings removed.

    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.

    Sounds like standard Britishicon serial number and inspector stamps for a IIIB Ross.
    IIIB Ross did not have Quebec roundel, mark designation or serial number on butt.
