The one thing I notice is the "JJCO" import stamp directly above the string of Lithgow proofs. Jovino put together quite a few good rifles, admitteldy "bitsers" out of our Aussie cast offs and quite a lot of them from old DP rifles. Some were good rifles DP'd for no other reason than DPs were needed - or so I've been told.

There were very, very few Lithgows allocated to the Darwin Police - so few that they took great care to mark them "DP" in case they ever lost them - this could be one of the last remaining Darwin Police rifles and you con the poor unsuspecting seller into thinking it is an 'un-safe' rifle - shame on you
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...

You must have a sense of humor.
Pre 1931 we had the South Australian Police with responsibility for policing Palmerston/Darwin. Post 1931 we have had the Northern Territory Police.
Perhaps they needed rifles for the purpose of drills. :-)
