Here is a link to a web page on my 1943 dated No4(T)

That being said, most everyone prefers to shoot with the mk3 scope because one person can zero it, unlike mk ones and twos', keep the mark and consider yourself lucky, its the best upgrade of the no 32 to 1945.

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.

IMHO both rifle, & scope/bracket are good. As others have said you just have an honest mis-match. The scope was originally fitted to a 1944 BSA (K prefix serial number stencilled on your scope carrying case).

A nice find.

The questionable * mark on mine is not a * mark but a " mark, not sure what that means though.

I wouldn't be too worried about the ". I've seen it on a number of (IIRC) 1943 BSA's & whilst I could be missing out on the secret of the century, I suspect it's just an idiosyncracy in the markings as applied to rifles at this time. You have a truly nice piece of kit.

Best.
