Another No4T.......

Rotate your photo 180 degrees. It is clearly a 7 not a "Zed" (being British icon

it would not be a "Zee" ;-) The ding at the bottom of the 7 would not haveobliterated the bottom leg of a "Z".

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.

We had a pot of yellow paint to paint a big yellow Z on the butt.

Thanks Peter, as I,ve never seen a big yellow Z or only a few pics of stamped ZF before I proceeded with caution..... better safe than sorry.

Its what was on the righthand side thats been removed is the biggest puzzle, the pic doesn't really give the detail but Its had some material removed, initial thought and still is, is its the England icon

import stamp.

Just happy to give it a good home.....

I think it is a 7

**bigduke6** · 07-10-2016 09:15 PM

Its an old thread but it does have an happy ending, it was always in the balance regarding the Mark on the butt although I was certain it was a 7 but was always cautious, after searching the internet for something related to No4T's I came across a rifle that I can only guess was in the same rack at some point as mine, the rifle has the butt marked in the same place with an upside 5....... I believe its sold or is pending, its one of the Business's of a member here.

I have contacted him to see if he can shed any light on the rifle or knows anything of its past, a long shot but worth a try.

The one I sold was marked in a similar way, but with a number 5

**bigduke6** · 07-14-2016 10:05 AM

Thanks Simon, guess it was in the same rack at some point, obvious there was at least 7 wonder what the total was ?

Like two peas in a pod

The normal issue scale was 8 No.4 (T) rifles per infantry battalion. More for commando and airborne units and fewer for armoured unit.

**Peter Laidler** · 07-14-2016 01:53 PM

I'm not sure that an Armoured Regiment would have a scale of issue of No4T's. And certainly not when it came to the L42/L96 era. An Armoured Regiment is part of an Infantry Brigade/Division or an Armoured Brigade/Division. By definition, it'd be the Infantry part of the Brigade/Division that would have them. Only based on my limited experience of course
