I have a SMLE No 4 Mk 1 and am trying all I can to trace some of its history.

Its Ser is 1/49 (January 1949?) PF73370 - I believe thats a ROF Fazakerley gun. The dealer I bought it from said he bought a batch of these from the South African Gov.

It is possible the rifle was ordered by RSA direct from its maufacturer. If thats the case I stand little chance of tracing its history further.

Can anyone help me please with further research advice
