he!!o gents , it is a pleasure to come back after a long period ( i was away ) - well , i would like pose the following question : me and others friends collectors of enfields rifles we have noticed a particular mark on ours Long Branch n.4 rifles this mark it seem can be found ( ...we think ) only on the Long Branch rifles as in the photo some of us think it could be a LB factory inspection mark , but we seen a wide variety of marks there is also a G2Q and a D3 - i have not the photo but it is ever in the same position in our opinion difficultly the LB factory could have had so many inspection marks some of you , could be able to know the real cause / history of this mark , and be so gentle to let us know ? waitin for hearing from you Thank you and best regards |

one of mine is at hand , the others are out of reach for a bit -
my '41 mkI [converted to mk 1/2] does not have this mark , i doubt my '42 mkI* has it either or i would have a record of it , and my Cno7 does not by my records either
