U marking on bolt head and knox form
All,
Quick question which I could not find the answer to via a forum search:
What does the "U" marking both on a bolt head and knox form signify?
Rifle in question is a 1918 RSAF Enfield SMLE that went through re-barreling in 1944 & then was sold out of service.
Thanks!

Is there an 'Arrow-head' inside the U ?

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

Alan,
No there is not an arrow in the U (South African marking I believe). The photo from the auction site is enclosed below.

The U on the reciever will be the serial number suffix

Agreed. And I think the U on the bolt head itself probably does indeed most likely relate to steel alloy composition.
