Thats how ROF(F) marked their receivers - aka Fazakarly (British). They are a WWII maker, commonly known for WWII Jungle Carbines. 8/43 would be Aug of 1943. For $150 I'd be very pleased. Thats how much sporters go for up here, then add another $150 for a nice stock set. The wood looks like walnut, which is proper for WWII.
I can't comment about the LB markings, but everything sounds kosher so far. The bolt head can be replaced quite easily if you want to be picky. Is the old girl matching?

Al appears correct. I pulled it apart and the trigger is still part of the trigger guard, so I assume it hasn't been up-graded to the type 2. The wood looks like walnut, it's nice and dark on the inside. I guess I'll have to fish around for a bolt head and log it in. I really had my hopes set on building a match gun as prescribed by the gun plumbers press, but this won't be the one. Also never planned on collecting #4's by the numbers but, if thats the way it's pointing I'll just have to consider it destinity, many thanks-SDH
