I spotted the following label attached to a Long Branch that had been modified to a No.4 Mk.1/3 in, I think, 1951.



Is the label a factory label, a military label or an importer's label? I have not seen one of these before.

I also noted on the rifle that the magazine was not marked with the serial number. Could this be a replacement magazine after the FTR? I have owned and handled a couple of No.4s that had been FTRed at Fazakerley during and after 1949, and each one had the serial number electropenciled (?) on the underside of the magazine.
