    David, Maltby only produced the MkI.

    No4Mk1(T), The mazakicon/ZAMAK buttplates are fairly common on mid wartime Maltbys and Fazakerleys. I've never seen a BSA-Shirley with one, tho'.

    Just a thought, but wouldn't a Long Branch/CA rearsenal likely have a steel buttplate?

    Thanks for reminding me Brad. I know that but had managed to forget. Good catch!

    I’ve seen a few obvious post-war Long Branch refurbs that still have a Zamak butt plate. I had for a number of years a beautiful 1943 Long Branch that almost looked un-issued until you realized it was park’ed that had one.
