Value of a No 5 on a No 4 Receiver

Pete, do you mean Holsworthy (no d) in Sydney. If so, I believe so now at a greatly reduced ability . Holsworthy is now base to 4RAR and seemed to have taken over. These special services guys let them use something and they take over.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The gun in question has been in the posession of the current owner for decades so I am not at all concerned that it's a fake. I just didn't look for any markings but will when I get to see it again. Thanks for all the comments.

Yes, that's the one Holsworthy. I didn't get the spelling as I was never badly behaved enough to pay the place a visit! I just recall that the jail was called 'the can' for some reason. My first attachment was to 4 RAR

"The Can" is slang for gaol (jail for the fellow colonialists) Pete I'm shocked that you have forgotten how to spell the Queen's English.
