    Lithgow L1A1 serial number question

    Hello everybody.
    I was offered a Lithgow L1A1 serial number AD6418238. Can anybody shed some light on this? Was this rifle made for the Australianicon or NZ Army?
    Thank you in advance.

    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.
