    Help ID bolt markings

    Top flat bolt is H U. There does not appear to be a . before the U.
    Middle flat bolt appears to be either a V or a triangle with a weak bottom leg. Could be an upside down A.
    Bottom bolt is round. Appears to be a O B. No sign of an A before the O.
    Hope the picture comes out OK.
    Any help appreciated.
    Regards
    Reed

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Part of the problem is that you have parkerized bolts which means that they have been refinished. I'm not sure about the top one, probably Underwood. The middle one is IBM. What you are seeing is an upside down letter A. There should be an AOB stamped on the outside of the right lug. It may be a weak stamping the was eroded off during the refinishing process. The bottom bolt is marked SB. It is an IBM bolt made by the Standard Computing Scale Company.
