No.4 Mk.I Fazackerly Forestocks, 1943

[ANDYZ28]

my 6/43 Fazakerely has it as well

Mine to!

Were serial#s stamped/etched into/onto the magazines at Fazakerley (mine does not) as they were on the Long Branch No4s' (my 1942 does)?

Thanks, Andy

Fazakerley didn't serialize magazines in WW2 production and neither did Longbranch----right into the '50 rifles.
Numbers on these rifle's magazines were put on at a local level.

I examined the rifle very carefully this morning, and it appears to me to have been stamped at the time of manufacture. The stock and magazine have both serial numbers, or should I say both sets of numbers? The numbers on the magazine have been very deeply struck so as to actually dent the base of the magazine. Why are their two serial numbers?

Thanks, Andy
