Hello Michael,
I just remembered a few details about another Savage Mk1 4T that I used to own. It's probably still in the UK somewhere, but sadly no longer mine. It is the only Savage rifle I have personally owned that I am sure was a RSAF Enfield Lock conversion rather than one effected by H&H. There was no S51 on the butt, & the back of the body was profusely marked with Enfield examiners' marks. The barrel was a Trials era EFD replacement, as was the magazine. In spite of the many examiners' marks elsewhere on the rifle body there was no mark on the front pad. The forend had been replaced with one of beech, that quite poignantly had had the girl's name 'Yvette' scratched into it. It was a 1942 dated Mk1 rifle & was scoped up with a mis-matched Mk3 telescope. Rifle serial number; 0C4335. I'm afraid I can't remember any more of it, but hopefully this may be of a little use......

Thank you very much, every bit adds to the picture.

Roger, I had a chance to buy 0C0303 (less scope T) in 2002 or 03. The seller wouldn't budge on negotiating, and I was poor. I am poorer today for not finding the few more $ he was asking. This was in Canada.

Looking through the old Bonhams catalogue from 1997 I noticed L42A1 Savage 0C109. Not quite the same demand for Lee-Enfields back then.

I note that the "matching LB" L42 sold for the lowest price

It was in Rob Hallam's personal collection & now resides in Australia with a forum member.

God, I wish I could find l42s for that kind of cash!!!!!

[Roger Payne]

If only we had a time machine! Charnwood offered my friend & I thirty L42's in the chests for 500 GBP plus VAT apiece. IIRC VAT was 15% at the time, so they'd have cost 590 all in. I declined the offer....!?$

1941 - Scope-less, OC3XX, No markings of any kind on either side of bolt way.
1942- Scope -less, OC33XX, On RHS is the letter P and below that the number 1 in a circle.

Both retain their original Savage barrels.

Hope this helps.
