Lee Enfield No 4 Mk1 from an auction

[DJCee73]

It suggests that either in service (unlikely) or in civilian life it was fitted with a non-Maltby butt plate.

Thanks so much for the clarification. Do you have any ideas on the oil bottle and pull through? Do you think it was a proper issue to this rifle?

EFD made oil bottles and an EFD could quite easily be issued from stores.
I would suggest that whilst a brass oiler bottle is not incorrect, it would more than likely be a plastic bottle.

I'm not an expert on oiler bottles.
