    Further to the S.M.C. magazine follower. I just found a small part on my SMLE Mk III* with the same mark. Part 19, the retaining spring on the right side of the action body.

    Is this Singer Manufacturing Co. in Kilbowie, Clydebank, Scotland, the UKicon branch of Singer Sewing Machine? They did a lot of war work during WW2.

    Roger that, makes sense. The other thread is still going, we should have done a whole thread about return of equipment...too.
