Very nice score on a post war No 5. Looks all original and correct to me. The earlier no 5's had a metal cap on the forend. There were some discussion threads in the past about near mint No 5's making their way over here (US) in the 50's/60's in large numbers. Pretty common on GB and other on-line sites. I have a Fazackerly (also 1946) and a BSA (1947) in the same condition. Appeared to be unfired, but I shot them anyways, and continue to shoot them quite regularly. Great rifle, congratulations.
