1945 ROF Jungle Carbine butt marking
Good afternoon! I recently purchased this No. 5 and I familiar with a lot of various enfield markings, but I don't know what the 'D' on the butt stock refers to. Is it a variation of an Australian acceptance mark? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have a nearly identical No.5 in similar condition with serial L794 (and matching #s, same production date) but it does not have the 'D' like yours, which might indicate a later stamp after production.

Thanks moose. What have you got against fish? I'm not really worried about folks seeing a deck I built or fish I've caught. I'm more interested in what the 'D' stands for

It looks to me that the "D" is two stamps - a standard "L" for a long butt, overstamped with a random mark - probably just a handling dent.
Is the butt a standard length or "Long"?

Thunderbox, it appears standard when measured against two of my standard length No. 4's

Its pro ably a random dent or something

If it was meant to indicate anything that anyone would need to know about, then it'd be in the technical handbook. It's not!
