Well there's something common between the two rifles. The year 1939 the beginning of the 2nd world war. Perhaps they were also repairing rifles at the beginning because NO ONE knew how many rifles they were going to need. The common wealth were pretty much on their own. I certainly wouldn't be throwing material away in 1939. Which ever it is interesting. And is what makes collecting this old steel so enjoyable. Each one tell's a story. Never a complete story mind you or one that makes any sense hahha.
Well I thought someone said the other one was 1939
