My Mk V. Appears to have original barrel, matching bolt, and forend. The bluing looks better in person and bore is excellent. Note added wood at rear of butt. Payed around $2000(Can) about two years ago.

I wonder if the added butt was to bring it up to a long? Or a replacement because of a recoil pad added at one point...?

I don't know, BAR, but it's extremely well done and shows lots of signs of wear and tear. Also wondered if this might be one of the type mentioned by Peter L. which have the new sight bridge brazed on? If you look at this closeup it appears kind of rough along the right side.

You should be able to see the line of braze...

I have just purchased a MK V dated 1923 and paid A$2150.00 in really good condition, all matching numbers and mint bore. Unfortunately it is missing the front band securing the nose cap. By the sound of things may have paid too much.

No, you actually have one, I haven't even seen one here for several years. Ridolpho picked up what would amount to the only one loose here in a long time. So be happy and now you can see if these guys can guide you on how to make a front band...

1923 is the rarer year with only about 2000 made
