They did number rebarrels, but yours certainly doesn't appear to be one. Both the date and the appearance of the stamping of the number on the barrel sure makes it look like the original to me. The barrel's date would be 3 '21, the middle figure being an apostrophe rather than a 5.
Beautiful rifle.
Hi Daveboy, The woodwork on your rifle is Queensland Maple, correct for the period, and the nicest patterned to go on any SMLE`s made. It is soft and prone to damage, so you are lucky to have a full set on your gun.
