Help restoring a No 1 Mk I*

[northwalesfred]

I have a BSA 1907 and it also has the ER markings on it. serial # 3322. It also has unit markings on the disc, which is DLS 10 62.
Can someone tell me what the DSL stands for?
The gun is also all matching.
Thanks

I've no idea. It could be in the Irish too. I have another three BSAs, a 1904, 1905, and 1906. The original serial number on my 1907 is K72982 It's ER number is 3141, no butt disc though. The serial numbers on the other ones are prefixed with L on the 1904, and S on the 05 and 06. The ERs have re stamped 4 digit serial numbers and the CR has only 3. I wish there was more info on these rifles.

I have a repro back sight protector for the Mk I* handguard. If you want/need it for your project, PM me.

Thanks for the offer but I got super lucky and dropped on a LSA original. I'm using 2/56 screws which fit good, a little bit loose but not much. I've finished stage 1 and got the protector rough fit on. I make the handguard from a piece of old forend from the king screw to the band. The MK III site protector screw hole sits in the wood I remove for the space between the forks. There's enough wood for some wiggle room for mistakes. The hardest thing to find are the brass rivets and burrs to attach the spring clip, I'm still looking.
