    I would leave it as a nice example of a Mk1 P14 since it has the nice low 4 digit serial Number. For it to become a Mk1* / to MK3*T is a big leap, but it is yours to do with........

    Thats interesting @harry mac... makes sense I suppose. So all the Weddon repair P14's would have been relegated to Home Gaurd and E and DP use then? (If they were the older MK1)

    So to have the extra mark at 1600 ( above it ) would be the mark for 1650 ( 303 ranged to 1650 as above).

    If you put a P14 sight on a M1917 the ramp gets in the way of stripper clips too!

    No, the first letter (see second pic )looks very similar to an N. Unless they slipped severely with the stamp.
