    Arrow Markings on an Enfield No 2 Mk I cylinder

    Why would this cylinder be marked in this fashion? Comments please it's on a 1939 revolver.

    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.

    Is there a serial number on the cylinder? Does it match the gun number and is the font consistent. I suspect there may be another old serial number under the arrows.

    I can't see any burnished number myself, but (is it just my eyes), if you look at the leading edge of the forward arrow, it seems to point towards an arching Mark that runs across that chamber?

    Not a crack I hope!

    Revolver is all matching and the fonts on the serial numbers appear the same. It's enough for me to stay away from it.
