Mine is serial number A0337, but the '1' in 1931 has been over-stamped with a '3' making it 1933
It still has the original 1930 dated barrel fitted, and was converted to 'T' at Enfield

Interesting date for a Model C trials. I see yours also has the cross-screw rather than pin through the forend strap, as did mine.

Originally there was a plain sling loop by the front guard screw; or perhaps you put the removable one on?

I take it you have the "light alloy" butt-plate as well?

The wooden plugs inset from either side were quite common in Canada; not sure where that originated, but apparently intended to prevent the action shifting laterally in the forend.

Is the milled out recess for the backsight plunger "in the white"; mine was.
