Enfield G3

Just got a new Toy today , but it also give me some questions .There are a few tales about the Enfield G3 . Some say they were original German HK parts which were Enfield stamped and sent via Switzerland to the Balkan conflict .Other say it was a delivery to Africa . What confuses me is that there is an arrow stamped in barrel and reciever , which i allways thought is a British property mark .
The Metal on the grip section and on the stock is painted or plated in a greyish color , so i guess they have been replaced . The reciever is painted black . Does anybody knows the original state of the rifle as it was delivered ?

I cataloged one of these for an Auction coming up in November here in New Zealand. Its the first time I have seen one but it too had the ->S<- marking. This marking probably hasn't been used in decades, its a British SOLD out of SERVICE marking, something that at one stage was common on Lee Enfields that were sold off.

It would be nice to learn more about these rifles.

Yes thats true . I have heared stories about it , but nothing sounds logic to me .
