Hi, my Lithgow is a MA 1945 receiver SN: F 37427 with a 3/52 "H" barrel with MA over VI and four stars stamped on it . It has the crown over LP in flags on both the barrel and the receiver. It came with two bolts, one has v11755 on it and the other bolt has no number and appears to have never had one, there is no sign of it having been ground off. The butt is dated 1945 and there are no markings on the lower fore wood and there is no cutout for the rear sight protector, the upper front fore wood only goes from the barrel band to the nose piece. The rear upper wood was one piece went from the receiver to the barrel band and is held on by the standard spring clip and the barrel band. It had no cutout for a sight but is broken beyond repair, I plan to make a new one at some stage. The rifle has a Lane peep sight fitted to it.
