    No5 Mk1 Serial Number....is it correct?

    All,

    1945 No5 Mk1 with the following serial number on receiver:

    "No5 Mk1 ROF(F) FTR,B)1945 BG7965"

    This appears to be a Faz No5 that went through FTR at BSA Shirley?? All the parts are marked with the BSA "M47C". Does this seem ok or legit?

    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.

    The serial number BG7965 is ciorrect for a 1945 made BSA No.5 Mark 1. I think you have a BSA rifle that was later FTR'd at Fazakerley.
