    ERA P14 Markings and other Info

    Just recently picked up a nice P14. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on some of the markings that the rifle has. I know basic history of the Pattern Enfields however i would love to learn more. The rifle appears to be matching as far as i can tell which is really cool.

    Any help would be appreciated! Check out the pics below!

    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.

    The royal cypher (GR = George Rex = George V) over the two crossed flags, over the P is the Britishicon Proof Mark.

    The Broad Arrow (/!\) is the Acceptance Mark (Ownership).

    The star or asterisk (*) = Mark I* rifle.

    ERA = The manufacturer: Remington Arms Co. of Delaware, Eddystone.

    2 = modification in cartridge feed ramp.

    Nice rundown.

    The Europeans do cooler proof marks than we do that is for sure.
