Lee enfield No4 Mark 1. Not sportorized

303 #4 Mark 1 nd Lee enfield in world war II configuration Mark II sight, which was common. Produce in 9/44 from Fazarkeley. Comes with a mag and 14x303 rounds.

Stamped N79 with Broad Arrow (Broad Head): The "broad arrow" is the iconic British military acceptance stamp. The N79 is a wartime manufacturer code for Viners Ltd. of Sheffield, UK. Viners primarily made bayonets and small metal stampings—meaning your front nose cap or barrel band is a 100% correct, British wartime component.

"SN" on the Stock Rings: The metal bands holding the handguards together are stamped SN, which is the wartime contractor code for Stevens-Newmarket, a subcontractor that supplied small steel components to factories like Fazakerley.

Mark II Sight: The Mk II rear sight is a dual-aperture flip sight (set for 300 and 600 yards). This is perfectly correct for a 9/44

September 1944) build. By late 1944, factories used these simplified, stamped sights to speed up wartime production instead of the complex micrometer dial sights. [1]

The Wood Patch (Buttstock): A well-done patch job right by the brass buttplate is actually very common for military surplus. If it looks professionally repaired, it was likely done by a base armorer during the rifle's service life. While it technically lowers the cosmetic value compared to a pristine stock, many collectors appreciate it as genuine "battlefield character."

Because this was a late-war rifle built during a period of extreme haste (September 1944), Fazakerley armorers frequently skipped the time-consuming step of stamping the receiver serial number onto the bolt handle before the rifle left the factory. [, 2]

Because your bolt has the correct wartime production stamp (BSA) and has never had a serial number scrubbed off or over-stamped, it is highly probable that this is the exact "factory-original" bolt the gun was issued with.

3. The "PB" Serial Number Prefix

Your serial number (PB27839) aligns flawlessly with ROF Fazakerley's late-war coding system. Fazakerley used a letter prefix system starting with a "2" for their serial blocks (e.g., PF, PA, PB, PC). The "PB" prefix block directly confirms a late 1944 build date. The fact that it is electro-penciled or lightly etched on the side of the receiver is completely standard for Fazakerley rifles from this exact month.

I also have a Savage 24d 22 long rifle on top 20 gauge on bottom brake barrel. I would sell both guns for $1,500.
