Help on scope mount marking No4Mk1 (T)

**Barry Bass** · 11-24-2012 06:01 PM

I have just purchased a M47C sniper. The marking JG appears on the scope mount just below the serial number.

Is this a Holland and Holland subcontractor?

Thanks

Barry

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.

To the best of my knowledge it is thought to be an examiner's mark at the Rose Brothers factory in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, UK icon

(one of two factories where the brackets were made, prior to being shipped to Holland & Holland). The letters 'KD' are also sometimes found on their brackets, but 'JG' is commoner. The other contractor was Dalgleish in Scotland. Their brackets are marked 'N92', though markings are often missing or unclear on equipment that has been refurbished several times during an often long & hard service career....

Photos are always welcomed! Even if the rifle is mismatched the info gained by good detailed photos helps us all.

5551 is quite an easy scope number to remember. Is it stamped in the wrist of the butt? Is it the only number there?

Everything looks 'right as rain' as they say in rainy countries.
