Any Ideas on what this means?

[Norincoman]

Just received two rifles from a friend.

The one that I am lookign at right now has a serial number on the band by the stock on the right hand side C12###.

The only other markings are on the left side of the reciever and are "R.O.F.M. No4Mk1 1941"

I know what No4Mk1 means but the R.O.F.M and the significance of the 1941 I do not know. This is my first Enfield so I sure would appreciate any help. I searched the R.O.F.M but found nothing.

Thanks all!

(I received two Lee Enfields, a Remington 870 Wingmaster and an old .22 bolt from my friend....just doubled the collection like that!)

Thank you BadgerDog for the list of Lee-Enfield marking. Found out that my # 5 M1 was made in Fazakerley, Lancashire

Not to hijack a thread, but, I have one with "ALD" on the stock, and it's not listed in the link BadgerDog posted.

Anyone know about that one?
