No4 MkI Marking

**tlvaughn** · 01-06-2010 09:37 PM

The photo is of a marking on a 1942 Savage No4 MkI. I have never seen this before and was hoping one of you knew what it is.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

No, have not seen that before. Verrrry in-ter-esting......

Yes ... interesting marking ...

I tried to blow up tlvaughn's pic to get a better view. It gets fuzzy with doing that, but I can see the shape it a little better.

Not that its much help, but I've seen that mark more than once. Unfortunately, I've no idea why its there.

ETA just checked the three loose Long Branch actions at hand (two 74L and a 60L) and no similar mark for a pic. (Yah, no Savages handy, sorry.) Anybody else?

Is that TWO marks...., one stamped over the other?

Looks like a little house with a door. I did not see that mark on the 1942 Sav. I restored. ?

tlvaughn, I just partially disassembled my '43 Savage, nothing that I can't attribute to machine marks.

Mr. Laidler icon

- I just looked at it again with a Triplet 10X and it does not appear to be two marks. With the Triplet, I can see the lines on the left which are very faint with the naked eye and not visible in the pic.

JBS - That is exactly what it looks like, a house with a door.

I will make an attempt to get a better photo this weekend, until then, the new attachment is as good as it gets.

I was going to say that too ...

I wonder if there's a Freudian context to it ...

It also looks like one of my grandson's drawings of a person ...

The "person" was my take on it - weird "Alien" No4s!
