E57893
A ^ F
barrel date 8.43
FTR no date
story goes it was his fathers target rifle when he was going to boarding school made a state team it is only a standard barrel no H

[muffett.2008]

Pisco, can you check the prefix? 1940 should be a B, not an E.

[pisco]

hi muffett it is definitely a E unless the year stamp on the wrist is not 1940 i can make out 194 easy enough i would post a picture but i can not
pm your mobile no and i will send the pic of the wrist

Sounds like a 1942/3

[muffett.2008]

Pisco, thanks for the pic, it looks like the bottom loop of a 3, another way of telling if it is 1940 or '43 is to look at the proof marks on the left of the receiver, pre 1941 D series had the crown GR over L and crossed sceptres


Post D series 1941 the proof mark was simplified dropping the GR.
