L8 conversion to L42A1

[Peter Laidler]

It is on record that they did go through the FTR system at Enfield. And if at Enfield, then Fazakerley would seem natural too! But there wouldn't be any facility to examine/repair/rebuild telescopes at Faz whereas there would at Enfield because the large Optical workshop/facility was close by at the big Base Workshop at Woolwich But that said, I don't recall seeing the FTR marks. But does anyone know what FTR at Enfield marks on a No4 look like?

Are not the Weedon "Star" markings on the bottom wrist of No4T rifles an indication of (at least) examination and upgrade to current spec (whatever that might have been)?
