Question on Long Branch #4 (T)

[rgg_7]

Bolt is Brit...has round knob like post war. Long Branch used a round with flat milled on end. Don't see Canadian proof mark after serial number or the "LB" by the root of the handle. Would like to see full lentgh picture of rifle and the barrel detail. Also noticed that the first digit after the "L" is double or overstamped. This rifle has gone through an extensive rework...surprised it's not marked "FTR".

I took some photos of the marks on various pieces of the rifle as requested in a few of the replies. The forewood and topwood has of course been replaced, and so has the bolt, although it has been "restruck" with the serial number, not EP'd. There is a pair of marks below the main receiver serial number on the left butt socket which I can't really make out--kind of covered with the Suncorite. The rifle still sports its original 1945 dated Canadian barrel.
