    Help identifying Mk1 rear sight.

    I just picked up a couple No4 Mk1 Enfields (not Mk1*). One is a Maltby, and the other is a Fazerkerley. They both have the 300/600 flip sight. I just bought a couple Mk1 sights from Apex so they will be easier to shoot at longer distances.

    They both have a P in a circle underneath a broad arrow. Out of curiosity, I'm trying to identify the origin or maker of these sights. I've attached some pictures of the sides which show some other markings. The left side has the P in a circle with one sight having a T and the other a Y stamp. Anyone have an idea the meaning of all these marks?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
