G'day Jondar,

Quote:
two were crown over L2 over A. Have no idea what that would be, my Enfield No.1 MK III* has several of those markings but all show Birmingham Arsenal marks. I wonder if my revolver could be Aussie and the L for Lithgow?

The L2 proof mark = Lithgow Small Arms Factory Australia ... any small arm with this mark has either seen refit, manufacture or FTR at Lithgow SAF. Your No1 MKIII* has seen a refit at Lithgow SAF ... this was common since Britain and Australia shared their arms between one another.

Best, TIki.
