Enfield No 4 MK 1* help
I just got a Long Branch Enfield No 4 MK 1*
It has a plastic stock someone before me did. I want to return it to how it was back in 1942. I was inspecting it and found some markings I can't identify. I will give you the low down as much as I can to ID the markings and anything special about the rifle.
Long Branch 1942, No 4 MK 1* (all on the left side of the receiver)
2L945 (On receiver between the trigger and the safety)
S (stamped in the receiver before the rear sight in the area the bolt goes into receiver)
77 with a Oval stamped around it. There is also something else stamped in the oval but I cant make it out. ( back right side of receiver where the bolt handle sets when the bolt it closed.
I have a crest stamped just below the 77. It looks like two swords crossing with a crown on top between the hilts of the swords. On the left side of the cross swords there is a C. On the bottom is a P and on the left side is a C again.
A arrow with a circle pointing down the barrel is stamped into the receiver.
On the right side of the barrel near the receiver there are a lot of stamps. Closest to the barrel are another arrow with a circle excelpt this is inside a oval with the number 80 inside.
That is next to a circled arrow with a 35 stamped bellow that. (with no oval)
Above all that is another Crest with the swords. (looking closer the swords could be flags.. similar to a guidon.)
Above that 42 is stamped very clearly and large.
Above that is a circled arrow with a oval and a 81 stamped inside that.
On the oposite side of that is the serial numbers 2L 945
There is also a underlined B Stamped near that.
Any ideas guys?

Ok thanks but I couldn't find any of my markings except the arrow with a circle is a Arrow with a C around it meaning Canadian
ownership.
