    BYF/42 serial number series?

    I just picked up a BYF/42 K98icon. Under the serial number is a "CC".Is this the series or is this some other kind of marking? Did they go A-Z and start over with double alpha markings?

    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.

    When they used double letter suffix it was a upper case and lower case letter like Kk or Mm Nn and so forth. A few of the script letters can be really hard to figure out. The E and C in small case are hard to discern. Easy to make a mistake.
