i have a nice old 1942 Longbranch, No4Mk1*, rather promising two grove barrel, but it has had a couple of questions asked that I'm not 100 sure on, mainly around the lack of serial number, well what we would refer to as a serial number we expect to be in the usual places

when i compare it against the raft of other No4's i have the serial is not evident at all on the wrist, however there is a serial number unlike another that i have on the side of the receiver

the last three digits are also on the bolt, although on the top of the bolt handle, it is a base (NZicon Wigram) rifle. it has a disk with WIG 25 inlayed in the butt.

My question is, i thought all LB rifles were serialised, or is this not as uncommon as i thought?
