    Buttstock markings on my No 5

    My newly acquired Faz 1944 No 5 carbine has had the stock refinished (DARN IT) but most of the markings on the left side of the buttstock are readable. I would imagine that they are unit markings. If anyone could help iI would appreciate it. Sorry for the poor photo.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
