Long Branch serial number listing

[artyldr01]

Just purchased my first Long Branch, a pristine all matching 1943 LB No 4 Mk I* SN 56L9036. All parts except 3 have interlaced LB. The three parts that don't (mag, front handguard, butt socket) are Savage. It has many early features (button cocking piece, low "cutout" wood, "fish tail"(?) safety, grooved rear handguard and Mk II sight). All wood has matching B/66 C/broad arrow marks and also has very bright 2-groove barrel. I drove 2 1/2 hours to buy it but it was totally worth it to me and for a decent price, especially by today's standards. Now, I can continue the hunt for a CEF marked ShtLE and a Ross!
