The Irish Contract No4 MkII, serial number PF309348-PF359347 were imported after 1968 so it well be import marked. Everyone I have handled the import mark is very small and near the bayonet lug on the barrel.
Don't pay any extra for a Irish Contract rifle, it was the largest (50,000) of all the contract series of MkII's. The Zambia, Jamaica, Trinidad, St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Zanzibar or Hong Kong contracts were under 100 builds. Those may be worth a premium.
