No problem thats "Shir-le" I know her well !!!!!

A 1918 manufactured Short Lee Enfield - model MkIII* (Mk3*)
The nomenclature was changed in 1926 and the SHTLe Mk3* became the "No1 Mk3*"

Thanks! that was fast! How can I find the manufacturer? There's no BSA or Enfield or Lithgow markings there

Here's a link that will help with official markings.

It's a site provided by Amatikulu with some good information to bookmark for the future.

Also, check the MKL for a similar rifle complete with details and photo montage ...

Well I'm going with NRF there on the reciever body.

Weren't SSI and NRF rifles marked this way?

I'm going with SSA.
Look to the left side of the receiver near where the cocking piece sits when the bolt is closed.
