Am I missing something?

Hey Claven, I didn't know Chris Rock was a Lee Enfield collector! LOL. It's pretty obvious that you've never handled a New Zealand owned No.4. They had their own NZ serial numbers applied upon being accepted into service. The NZ serial number is stamped on both the butt socket above the factory serial number and usually on the top of the bolt handle but not always. I've also seen the numbers and ownership marks engraved on with an electric pencil. This rifle is right as rain.
