New to me BSA SMLE

Just got my first SMLE and while checking it out for markings it has BDL icon

LTD in SC, made me laugh out loud when I figured it out because it is marked so tiny as almost impossible to read. Brian what can you tell me about a 1916 SMLE with the cut-off, is this one of yours?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The 3 amigos in the last pic. My 3 Enfields, top BSA SMLE No.1 MkIII, 1943 BSA Shirley No.4 MkI is second and the last one is a ROF(F) No.5 MkI. My No.4T was sold to a forum member here a few months back it was also a BSA.
