It is clearly a No4 Mk1 it has all the right markings on the wrist and is also marked on the left side of the receiver just forward of the stripper clip bridge. As for the S/5 the only place it is stamped is on the flat surface of the main part of the bolt head, nowhere else. Also that is the only mark on the bolt head.
The bolt locking lugs and mating surfaces are undamaged and the lockup is solid.My main concern was the lack of size mark or any type of acceptance marks. I guess I will have to spring for a field gauge at the very least since I don't know anyone who shoots Enfields to borrow gauges from.
Thanks for your help.
