FTR woodwork on a No4 (T)?

[Alan de Enfield]

Haven't spotted anything unusual on the other stamps on the receiver - just the Mk1*

If it is indeed a No4 Mk1* then it is either a Savage or Longbranch rifle, or, one of those 20,000 weird ones that Maltby produced marked as MK1* despite being Mk1

I am thinking / remembering that very few Mk1* actually made it to full "T" status. (On the boat with no reference books) - is that correct ?

The BSA M47C code is clearly visible in the photographs.

Looking at Madzi's pics, the rifle is stamped No4 Mk1", not Mk 1*. There was another thread discussing the use of quotes after the 1 was stamped. And as GeeRam pointed out, the M47C is clearly stamped.

That was my point - having BSA markings it cannot be a Mk1*
Maybe I was a bit too subtle (its not like me but I guess there is always a 1st time !)

Alan- Makes sense to me now; I'm a bit dim on picking up on the subtleties! The proverbial "ton of bricks crashing on my head" definitely applies in my case...

Madzi-here is a previous thread discussing the use of a " after the number stamp.

And that was my point.......as the first photo's posted by the OP clearly showed the M47C and the 1" marking......(not a 1*)
