Great thank you for confirming the Irish service, does this make this rifle anymore desirable? also question on the receiver serial number, it appears that it may have been re-stamped? if you look closely you can see other numbers under the serial number, just curious why?

It is normal. My ShtLE Mk1*** has 3 SNs, the original cancelled, then Irish cancelled, then a G### when it was made into a wire-wrapped Grenade launcher. I think Irish rifles command a slight premium. I think, but could be wrong, most are bolt mis-matches because of the way they were shipped to the US in the early 60s which is when most, if not all, were imported, hence probably no import mark.

Do the nose cap, under rear sight, magazine, and rear of bolt handle match the receiver and barrel SN?
