Hi,
This is my first posting here... so bear with me for my mistakes and terrible pictures.
i'm sorry for the focus problems in some of them,
i've an old camera and my skills are not to snuff.

I picked up an interesting Lithgowicon no 1 mk3 dated 1916..
it looks to be a jjvco import but it seems to be mostly unscathed and original.
standard mk3, not a mk3*. has cutoff, has been rebarrelled with a heavy barrel,
looks to have been done 3 of 38.
mostly matching except for the rear sight and sight base.
bolt was a casualty of a numrich arms " convert to a .22 kit"
had the bolt in barrel liner in 22 cal and a 22 caliber bolt installed unfortunately,
they didnt keep the original bolt with it.

after removing the liner the bore is gem mint, and i would hazard a guess that the bolt would have been matching when imported.
allkinds of interesting markings on the barrel including the witness marks with the star I thru IV, then MA V thru IX. 5MD, H, etc. stock is also nicely marked as well.
stock and forestock are matching numbered, as well as front handgard.
rear handgard only marked with a G. magazine unnumbered but marked MA.
nosecap matching numbered.

What is the meaning of the HV SC marking directly rear of the sight base?

Serial number is interesting to me as it is 60007.
overall I think it is a fairly nice unmolested (for the most part)
rifle.

and comments or observations are most welcome.

I think i am going to try and find an unnumbered lithgow bolt for this rifle.

enjoy.
