Front sight protector is on the wrong way round, on that one.
Recently purchased 1950 LB with serial numb 95L3225 with ungrooved hand gaurd and steel butt plate. Nagazine changed and bolt serial number different 95L7783. Rifle shoots fine its 5 grooved barrel.
Purchased in early 2020, 1941 Mk.I #0L2781, receiver and barrel matching, and also bolt #0L1322. My earliest LB rifle.
Marksman, the butt plate isn't steel, it is an alloy called Zamak. Lack of brass to make butt plates.
I have 26L4016. 1943 all matching serial numbers. 5 groove barrel. Small repair on butt stock but otherwise in very good order. I don't suppose anyone would have a correct sling for it?
Just picked up a 1950 No4 Mk1* with serial number 94L7747. I know nothing about the rifle as I picked it up yesterday afternoon except that it has a steel butplate, click slide rear sight and has matching bolt. Had a quick look over it and there are still traces of packing grease on the rifle. I'll probably be reaching out for some info on it.
Just collected 1L937 from my dealer, post Lockdown.
1941 receiver, 1942 two groove barrel, LB marked short Butt.
Any know what the markings are on the R/H side of the receiver, by the rear sight?
I think she's lovely!

I don't know for sure what those markings are Roy, but I wonder if they may be Italian proof marks?
Adds to the story. Many thanks
