Hi everyone. I'm hoping I can impose upon y'all to help me figure out some more details about the rifle I just picked up earlier today. It's a No.1 MkIII (no asterisk), and I'm pretty sure it's Britishicon-made, but can't tell beyond that.

I can take pictures if necessary.

The numbers on the piece of metal that separates the stock from the wood around the barrel (and is connected to the trigger guard) are:

SHTLE
III

On the side of the the bolt lever facing the butt, there's the serial number 54--, with a "DP" stamped beside/on top of the serial number. On the little tail-piece of the bolt (don't know how to describe it), there's the big arrow that I believe is usually put on British-made rifles. There's also what looks like a tiny "DE" or something like that.

No markings on the butt-plate that I can see. On the right of the stock is engraved/stamped the letters MA, and below that 2/45. There's also what looks like the letters IIV or something like that. Towards the butt, there're some numbers stamped as well.

At the barrel-end of the gun, on the metal part kinda underneath the front sight, there're the letters BA. On the circular piece that sticks out under the muzzle, there's a D, and then below that the numbers 77569.

As I said, I can post pictures, but if anyone has any thoughts on interpretation I would appreciate it.
