I've just managed to purchase a 1930 dated No1 MkV1.
The rifle is is excellent condition although it has been through the 1940 upgrade to No4 spec.
As part of this process the mag cut off and orginal rear sight has been removed but it still appears to have its original woodwork, the wood has the rifle number and Enfield maker marks stamped on it.
I didn't notice at first but if you run your hand along the front lower wood you can feel a dip in the wood where the original chequering would have been and if you look carefully you can just make out in some places the faint lines of the chequering. Does anyone know if the removal of the chequering was part of the conversion procedure?
