    Help Wanted to ID a No 4 Mk 1

    Hi,
    I'm away from home at the moment so can't get to my books. Our club rifle 'Slack Alice' has just been refurbed but I'd like to know more about it. It is marked:-
    Left Side of Receiver: No 4 Mk1 ROF (F) 7/44. Does that just mean a Mk 1 Royal Ordnace Fazakerly July 1944 or is that too simple? It is ROF NOT POFicon!
    The number is electro pencilled NC 26917
    The Cocking Piece is marked 1956 M47/c
    The Magazine Follower has an S in a square (Savage?)
    The bolt has a 'Square C with rhe letters PF inside it and is numbered 34140

    So your ideas please!
    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. 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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Apart from it being "Ordnance", yes.

    BTW, I'm sure you know the original "Slack Alice" was?

    Thanks for the spelling correction and info. Has anyone any ideas about the markings on the bolt?

    "Royal Ordnance Factory" is what it stands for I believe.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
