As this is a collectors forum I have decided to share some of the pieces I kept, hopefully to start conversation, and maybe encourage some others to focus on these great pieces of history. I do have some gaps in my collection, please forgive, maybe I will be able to correct that in the future. ... (continued)

While we're talking 22 trainers
Can someone shed some light on this one?..It is a beautiful Lithgow, 1944 built rifle...It's stock isn't marked like UK 22's, as there's no trace of the large stampings on the buttstock's right side...There is, however, a brass unit disk with the correct serial number of the rifle...Is this correct for the Lithgows? As the pic shows, the wood is very proud of the metal, and I don't think it was ever sanded...There is a scar (or old stamp?) about midway up on stock in pic...No clue what this is...Anyone?..This is an all-matching rifle that came with the correct sling as well..
My first Lithgow, so any input would be most appreciated on this..
Thanks
