Very well. I agree I'm not in a hole. It does appear to be a genuine No. 4 (T) thanks to yours and all the other information I see here.

My next thing is to make a list of what I need for a repo-restoration and the approximate cost. There is no way I could do an original. I'm retired and this fixed income thing is not exactly what I imagined....

This would be one of the most challenging projects I've undertaken and I need to be sure I'm up to the commitment. The enjoyment of learning about and working on the rifle must exceed the monetary outlay.
