    Am I reading the wristguard markings correctly? It seems to show its a 1917 Short Magazine Lee–Enfield Mk II rifle manufactured by the London Small Arms Co. Ltd. Then modified to the .410 by RFI in 1930. Was this common?
    I would have thought this was made by RFI of GFI being in India. Of course I know little about Enfileds to begin with let alone this variant.

    I think you are... These should have a normal long eared lower handguard. The wood was the same...the ears were permitted to be cut if one broke and the other didn't matter, apparently they weren't deemed essential.
