Unit Markings On An Enfield No 2 Mk I

[BruceHMX]

Recent purchase of an Enfield No 2 Mk I no asterisk dated 1932. Has the unit marking stamped on the back strap RA (Royal Artillery) 20 F 3 below it. So pulling the British Artillery Regiments up from WW2 the only unit that has a 20 in it is 20 FA Bde then renamed in 1938 the 20 Anti Tank Regiment. This is the only RA unit with a 20 in it. This unit was in the BEF with the 3rd Division and remained in that division the entire war. Dunkirk, back to England, then Normandy and the push through France into Germany. Would I be correct in this is probably the unit? Number 3 would assume weapon number 3?

Has the sold out of service stamps and ENGLAND on the top of barrel. How did these revolvers escape being reworked? Photos to follow.

Thanks
