    What do you mean by "two matching different serial numbers"

    If the numbers are matching surely they must be the same ?
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Possible New Zealandicon ownership? They had their own serial number system. It should have an "N^Z" stamped or engraved on the butt socket and/or top of the breech if so. I'm guessing so pictures would be good.
