I have acquired a No. 4 Mk 1 (I believe) which I saved from "Bubba." She has no bolt and is missing her furniture on top and the front portion on the bottom, no barrel bands and no rabbit ears. The barrel is intact, though and the rifling - after a good cleaning - seems quite salvagable.
What has me stumped is the fact that there are no manufacturers stamps on the left side of the receiver....NONE. I don't believe they've been ground off, unless it was done a very long time ago. They're just not there.
The wrist band has 1944 stamped on it, the letter "k" and the serial no is 36xxx. There are proof marks near the muzzle and Brit marks on top of the receiver. The letters "ZF" are stamped into the right side of the butt and "HQ 40" on the portion of the brass butt plate that overlaps the butt.
She's a little rusty and tired looking right now, but some day I plan to have her as pretty as when she was new.
Would anyone out there have any clues as to her pedigree as well as suggestions on where to begin looking for parts?

Thanks.

P.S. If this post is more suitable elsewhere on this forum, I apologize, I'm new here.
