Hi all,

First proper post on here, I have recently acquired a lovely '71 converted L42 so new to me I haven't even picked it up from the dealer yet!

My knowledge on all of the little variations on the L42s is somewhat limited and I came across this rifle earlier apparently a 1975 conversion. The L42 engraving is quite large similar to what I have seen on 1980s conversion rifle (definitely much bigger than on my '71 conversion) but to me the engraving looked a little shallow but for all I know this may be common on this era of conversion. Most other bits on the rifle look ok to me, just the engraving stood out.

Anybody able to advise on the engravings?

Also the price seemed a bit steep at £7900 as it has no CES items or transit chest.
The L42 I bought recently had full CES with an all matching rifle in lovely condition for only £1600 more.
