BSA's 'secret' war time code was M47 - each factory had a different suffix, for example
M47A = Small Heath Birmingham
M47B =Hereford & Worcester
M47C = Shirley Birmingham
If it is a very early one it may be just M47 (before they allocated suffixes to other factories)
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

The telescope will not be the same number as the rifle, but the - or a telescope number will be stamped across the rear of the butt along the top front edge. This number should match with the telescope
