Yes the butstock band must be the letter B, hard to tell as only the very bottom is left, rest of the info is very clear and complete. So far all the numbers match on the old girl, checked the wood on top and both pieces match the serial, bolt has no serial. The serial on the barrel is very clear and the 1 is definitely an L so the prefix is first line N, 2nd line L49XX. I am finding E s on the inspection marks, was that common for a rifle asembled at BSA. I imagine there was all sorts of cross work going on during the war.


thanks,
