Ill have to get back to you on the date but I'll throw this at you, we think the barrel on this HT is stainless

Now that would be an interesting development!
Can you post some pics of the markings on the barrel and tell us what makes you think it's stainless?

[Iron Horse]

what makes you think it's stainless?

Its very shiny .

We've got half a dozen HT,s and when you see them all together this one stands out.

Ill get some photos and the date soon.

Its very shiny

As in silver shiny or shiny blue?

As in silver shiny or shiny blue?

As in stainless steel shiny (sorry, yes silver)
only at the muzzle can it really be seen though
Would nickel steel look like that?

Ill get some nice pics soon.

I was hoping you would all say "z... ah yes, that means stainless steel barrel" and mystery would be solved, but I guess not huh.
All good fun stuff though hey?

any other info that I can post that y'all think might help, please ask.

My apologies for getting in late on this discussion. My "H" has a small "m" stamped above it (see pics). Rifle is a 1907 Enfield MkIII. It has a sold out of service stamp of feb 1926 on the stock (right over the cartouche!). Barrel is a Lithgow replacement of 11-1938. Has an H on the knox form as well. Un-numbered early lithgow replacement bolt.

Always wondered about the "m". Another piece of the mystery...
