No 4 1/2 and 1/3's

[Lance]

Well you guys beat me to it. I was compiling a collection of 1/2 and 1/3's and managed to get a "complete set" looking at different original makers of the rifle's. I was also close to having them all have different conversions years, but alas I have been unable to find a 1949, 50, or 57 converted BSA or Savage Mk 1/2.

From what you can observe Fazakerly started removing all receiver wall markings in 1954, previous to that they just canceled them with an electric pencil. Also of interest is the amount of "new" parts installed, none have their original barrel, and one rifle appears to be all 1954 made parts minus the receiver.

Attached are pic's of my 7 different girls with an extra LB 1/3 with both types of markings.

1954 conversion of a 1941 LongBranch Mk I

1956 conversion of a 1944 LongBranch Mk I*
