Value of a No 5 on a No 4 Receiver

Pete, do you mean Holsworthy (no d) in Sydney. If so, I believe so now at a greatly reduced ability . Holsworthy is now base to 4RAR and seemed to have taken over. These special services guys let them use something and they take over.

The gun in question has been in the posession of the current owner for decades so I am not at all concerned that it's a fake. I just didn't look for any markings but will when I get to see it again. Thanks for all the comments.

Yes, that's the one Holsworthy. I didn't get the spelling as I was never badly behaved enough to pay the place a visit! I just recall that the jail was called 'the can' for some reason. My first attachment was to 4 RAR

"The Can" is slang for gaol (jail for the fellow colonialists) Pete I'm shocked that you have forgotten how to spell the Queen's English.
