    Need info on BYF 43

    Hello all,
    I picked up a late BYF 43 and all serial numbers matching along with parts being stamped with the 135. The gun has a stamped trigger guard and floor plate, but I can not find a code or S/N on the follower.

    Is this correct? I also looked at a BYF 44 that is a known original that a friend has just to compare and it is the same way?
    thanks for the assistance.

    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.
