    Rifle No4 with front-end Ladder sight

    Today I came across a Fazakerley No4 MkII, modified with Parker Hale sights, BUT with a front-end mounted rear ladder sight!
    This rear sight is Rifle No1 MkIII or MkIII* styled.
    Can anyone identify or explain this apparent anomaly?
    I thought it might have been an early model "trials No4" from the late 1930s or early 1940s but this is a 1950s model!

    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.
