    Roger Payneicon has stated a few things about it especially the stampings on the left wrist socket, lack of milling for the front pad, lack of solder in the area and threads.
    I had a closer look at it and one of the things that Roger mentioned was the top stamping on the wrist over the Englandicon stamping. I looked at it and blew it up and I am pretty positive it says M 37 C in a very untidy stamping all over the shop. Even with war time pressures the chaps still tried to make it a half decent stamping and besides the stamping is incorrect its M47C for BSA Shirley not M37C see pic of the stamping on my 1944 BSA "T". FAKE receiver if thats the case.

    I think it is a 4

    You can just see the upsweep of the 'side' of the 4.
    I think there is a 'ding' at the bottom right of the 4 that is looking like the rounded bottom part of a 3.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
