    1944 BSA No1 two digit serial number prefix of "SC"

    Can anyone help with a query on a BSA 1944 No1 with a 3 digit serial number prefix "SC".
    If it means sold out of service, does it therefore have reduced collector value?.
    Sorry if this is a real novice question and if it is please advise the best source serial number information.
    Thanks.

    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.

    A 1944 BSA No1 would probably have an "N" prefix; sounds like your rifle has been scrubbed and renumbered.

    If you post some photos, we'll be able to tell you a lot more.

    Thunderbox, thanks for the reply.
    It's a rifle I looked at some months ago and is still for sale thus I have no photos.
    The serial number is quoted as "SC***" which seems a low number. I will see if I can get more info.
