Anyone see one like this before?

I thought they would be 50's. If I was you Alake, I'd get a new barrel fitted to that rifle, get it de-bubbad and you have got yourself a genuine piece of historical No4 rifle with a known history.

I wouldn't think that anyone outside the UK Military has ever seen one so marked and I've only ever seen about 4.

On a lighter note, nobody could ever duplicate one because you could never fake that dire workmanship or engraving style. A rare bird indeed

Thanks for all the info there is more stamped on the barrel under the stock I will remove the stock and snap a pic. My other Enfield is dated but looks like most others. This one was the odd ball. Peter I am curious as to why I should get a new barrel fitted?
Thanks Tony

I looked under the stock . And on the barrel is stamped NP 18.5 tons just under the arm and scimitar. Also i noticed the butt plate is brass, my other Enfield is stainless (i think) and all the numbers match as well
