Purchased 2 odd 03 bolts at a local show . 2 complete bolts one marked WL3 which carries a late electro arced number 1511395 under the extractor . The other is a J6 and carries a 1513367 number also under the extractor with CV marked striker knob .The number scribing are from a fine hand . Finish is a dark black blue.. Not Greek oxide . Am I correct the above scribed serial numbers would have been in the 1938 or 39 pre war era ? . According to Vics chart the rifles with mid to late 30s serial numbers should have NS marked bolts .These are small gas hole bolts . Pic of the WL3 enclosed .Wondering which branch would marry old bolts with late rifles ?? Opinions cherished . Thanks LTInformation
