Arsenal wrap No 4?
Can anyone look at this site and see if the wrap is 'arsenal' or not?

Hi,
that is how they left the Fazakerley ROF. I've been watching that rifle for many months, the reserve is over $1000...

Here is my 1955 "PF" prefix No4 Mk2 still in the wrap.

They were completely wrapped, when they left the factory. Most of them, that came into the US, have the area over the serial number opened and the wrap around the muzzle removed to apply import markings. Other than that, it looks authentic.
Some people don't like the import markings. Well, like it or not, it's a fact of life and part of the demilling of the firearm. It's all part of the rifle's history and as such is correct. If the UN sponsored marking laws are ever relaxed in the US, these may just make the rifles more valuable after about 50 years. Every UK rifle and most other European rifles are marked when sold out of service anyway so an import mark is no biggie, IMHO.
Get North America out of the UN and the UN out of North America.
