    The butt or fore woods may have been replaced due to the different coloration to each other, interesting it seems in the pic to have had the the front volley sight hole plugged just in front of the rear sights.
    I gather it has a magazine.
    Nice example of a WWI workhorse

    I think its all original Cinders and just the light etc, there will be some slight variation as its just oiled, a lot of SMLE's I have had in the past had a dark area around the rear of the fore-end and is probably due to it being the end grain and soaking up anything that gets there.....
