Enfield No4 MK1 T

[TerryChambers]

Is the left side of the receiver marked No4 Mk 1* as it appears to be in the photo? If so, isn't that inconsistent with the BSA Shirley M47C marking? I thought that only Long Branch and Savage made the 1*.

My 1943 BSA sniper is marked exactly the same way. It's a Mk.I, not a Mk.I*. But the * seems to be there in place of the T.

I can't make out whether the "*" mark IS actually a "*". It seems either we need a close up of that area, or of the bolt head release catch (or cutout slot) on the opposite side. Both items would be best. I'm curious. Not hugely, but you never know...

Here's mine. Not great photos unfortunately. To me, it looks like quotation marks when I examine it with a magnifying glass. Definitely not a * or a T.
