No4 Mk1 serial number starting with a W

[Mr. Bags]

I recent got a Leen Enfield No4 Mk1 with a serial number starting with "W" followed by 4 digits 63XX. Also the manufactures mark is the letter "B" but it does not look right to be Long Branch.

Any help would be appreshiated.

Thank you

Likely an early BSA before the M47 coding was adopted.

Yep - B mark is BSA Shirley 1941 - 1955.

Letter with 4 digit serial is early BSA
