PDF list of Enfield Enforcer serial numbers

[Hal O'Peridol]

I've currently got:

332
394
409
493

I've had about 10 others, but don't have my records with me. I also have numbered woodwork parts in the 2xx range from about 5 rifles in the guillotined D&C batch - aka "phoenix Enforcers"....

I know that the D&C stated on inquiry that they had destroyed all their Enforcers, but the documentation provided only states a few by serial number. So, with the "phoneix Enforcers" term......are you stating hat ALL D&C Enforcers are made up rifles, or only the ones in the 2xx batch or?

I admit I do have a dog in this fight, as I own #665, and it has scope #537 on it, rifle and scope noted as coming from D&C, but two different shipping dates. Without looking at a specific Enforcer in hand, how can you tell if it has been rebuilt from the ashes of a destroyed rifle, or never destroyed, but a complete rifle that a Police service sold off in the past, but now, in the current climate in England regarding firearms, that same Police service would rather say the rifles were destroyed rather than admit sold to the public? (How's that for a run on sentence?)

Changed the date on one to the correct date, I mistyped one.

Britplumber, regarding Constabularies rather than Police Departments, I am sure you are correct. Once again, the differences in the US/English use of our somewhat "common" language!

Perhaps Mr tlvaughn could also post the info as listed by date delivered, I believe that would be interesting as well.
