    I think you are confusing the pre 68 and post 68 import markings.

    Pre 68 (which is the ones I;ve been refering to) ONLY required the county of origin / country it was being shipped from.

    Post 68 (which you seem to be asking about as you keep asking for the 'rest of the import marks') required the Importers name, address, calibre country of origin and to ensure it had a readable serial number.

    The Lee Enfields shown, marked CANADA / ENGLAND / Australiaicon are all pre GCA68 imports and meet the requirements of the period, BUT, they do NOT meet the post CGA requirements, hence they can only be PRE 68.

    I'll leave it at that.

    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...
