N's that AREN'T letter prefixes....
One is one of my L42's & the other is a 1943 AV prefix 4T. Note the N's have serifs & are quite unlike the N prefix letter. Do they mean 'Naval'? I don't know, but it has been postulated as such....

Funny that DRP.............. I have the same serif type N on my trials No4T/L42 A-0xxx. As you say, quite unlike the prefix letter N.
What we need now is the serif 'N' on a bog standard No4, then a Lanchester and then a Bren, then a............

Since this thread seems to be wandering at times, I will post pictures of what I found doing a quick look in the vault as a separate thread. I am reasonable convinced thate these are naval issue as two are line throwers.

I think I have found my Holy Grail of SMLE's - it would be one with the RM stamped on the buttstock - having been a Marine, U.S. type one each, it would really be an item to have in my space - -

We're still trying to get the NRA to fill in those bloody big holes on Century.

That is certainly a long-standing problem! The caption on the back of the photo reads: "Building loopholes at Small Arms School, Bisley July, 1940". It is interesting to note that the early sniper training in the Second World War was very much influenced by the conditions of the First. This is also very obvious in the book by Nevill Armstrong which was written at about the same time as the photo was taken.
