1T5341 is going to be from around May 42, this is based on average production so it could actually be either side.

Mid 1941 produced. Ian's Serial lists are based upon Contract dates I believe. Some other details are also incorrect for example the booklet states A1 to A999 for Enfield however we all know it to be...

I'm pretty sure all my SANDF guns have normal .303 sights to be read as Meters, the Mk1s are 100% bog standard.

If it's marked as MkIII then it has to be one of the first 8500 Mk3 guns.

EA 9656 is an odd number and most likely not the original unless it is LB9656 which would be marked Mk3 rather than MkIII

Cheers Rod, Does it have a NZ too?

I've seen F9140 with the fluted gas ports, Kev G has the earliest true Mk1 Ptn A that I know of (F9497).

Have you any photos? The serial number would be a last stage intermediate gun.

Thanks Maccaman, that is probably a Mid January 43 gun.

Yep, all in the UK.

Thanks Ian, There's quite a few survivors in this range

Hi Roy, Take a look one page back, unfortunately your gun is either a South African 7.62 conversion or a recent build in the States. A true L4A4 would be based on a Enfield Mk3 gun, an Inglis Mk2...

Not much I can tell you really, it probably dates from early Feb 42 but it's very hard to pin it down as production varied by week. There were between 40,000 to 50,000 produced at Inglis in 1942.

Unfortunately it has to be a fake, as tankhunter has mentioned, a Mk2 conversion would be a L4A3. The serial number should have been barred out and replaced with a UE6xAxxxx serial number and the...

Mick, I've replied to your PM.

P908 would be a very late 41 gun, does the gun have an FTR/52 or similar marking? And does it have any MA, BA, OA markings on any of the smaller parts? Also it may...

Hi Andy, Thanks for the numbers, I'll add them to the list. Lithgow made approx. 350 DD Brens, A1 to A350 however I have heard of a few out of sequence, A955 being one, there could be a number of...

Thanks Andy, Last 1937 I have noted is A374, if the original number has been removed I believe it will be a ex Rhodesian gun, its a real shame it was converted and then had the original number...

Thanks Rod, F5721 is a very early 41 gun, any chance you can ask the owner if it has a rib on the right hand side, Its right between the change from rib to smooth side.

D3627 is one of the last Crown 1940 guns. The last observed Crown marked Mk1 on my list is D4414 and the first ED marked gun observed is D4713. H8336 is a mid 1941 Mk1A ptn, the first of which...

Indeed I have Peter, you sent it over a number of years ago thanks, I've so far managed to get some really close start/end of year production and variation figures. One of the more recent additions...

now thats a early one, its the earliest I know of, I dont know of any in the 2 digit numbers yet.

The centre section should have a date, I think you said it had 1940 on it, can you tell me which side thats on, also does it have a crown Enfield logo or Just the ED logo. The only other way is to...

I'm guessing that your semi has a Enfield centre section mated with a Inglis rear, the serial number 3T8081 is from a late 1942 Inglis Mk1m rather than a Enfield DD. The rear section of a Inglis Mk1m...

Hi MGCollector, are you in the USA?I ask because it sounds like your guns are possibly rewelds, or you have got the serial numbers off the wrong parts. H7398 is a Enfield Mk1 (Modified pattern) from...

Thanks, Barry. Your Mk1 is probably a March '44 gun, its actually quite a late production gun. I have only 1 each of BF and BG serial numbers and I'm intrigued as to why so few of these late guns are...
