    E.A.L. Lee Enfield questions

    At a gun show this past weekend I scored a rather nice "military" pattern E.A.L. Lee Enfield. The rifle is in quite good shape. The serial # is in the mid 5000 range.

    I have a couple questions:

    First the magazine - The military pattern EAL is supposed to have a five round magazine, which mine did, however the magazine mine came with is a made by Parker Hale. Is that the correct magazine (I don't think it is)? Can anyone point me to a photo of a proper 5 round EAL mag, or be so kind as to post a photo of one should they actually have one?

    Second I have a question about the original finish used on the stocks. Mine has rather poorly applied varnish which I doubt is original. Luckily the wood does not appear to have been sanded. Was the original finish an oil finish?

    Thanks for any help.
