1957 Fazakerly Mk.2?

[Peter Laidler]

Yes, but Surpmils is a post war Mk2 FTR that by definition, can't have been more than a few years old in 1957. Usually they retained their old oriuginal seriual number unless it was 'lost' Lances original BSA 3xxxxx has been changed to an Axxxxx

Your absolutely right of course Peter; that's what caught my eye. It is one of the last series without the mag cutoff lug, as per some other posts.

Lovely body it is too!

No other markings except the usual inspection stamps as I recall, but I'll take another look.

As for the factory slowdowns, I just came across a book while sorting the other night called "The Communist Technique in Britain" by a former CPGB organizer and I do believe he mentioned that arms factories were their priority targets for disruption and slowdowns.
