Help Identify this Number 4 Mk. 2

[Alan de Enfield]

I doubt the Pakistanis proofed anything, unless it was made at Pakistan Ordnance Factories (where all the Fazackerly machinery reportedly went)

From an old post of Peter's :

"It came from BSA. They were required to retain and maintain the old No4 manufacturing capacity on a care and maintenance basis for 10 years after the last rifle production - so in 1955 it was sold on".

I suggested to David that it was 'originally' a Fazakerley and your confirmation that it is a No4 Mk2, rather than a No4 Mk1/2 it confirms its parentage.

If it is a Mk2 then it would be an early 50's rifle (but the serial number does not stack up with that date) and it must have had a very hard life to require an FTR in '53
