I pulled out one of my complete No4 Mk1 Enfield's to do a quick parts inventory for a couple newly acquired Enfield I am restoring.
So one I have had for years surprised me. I noticed a 'T' stamped into it in a few places. One was right after the No4 Mk1 marking.
(Forgive me for having no pictures, if people want to see I can add one or two but I figured I may be able to get an example or answer without doing that)
So my thing on it is:
I bought it as a beauty, complete (and matching) No4 Mk1, never had any idea about the T on it. Price reflects that at the $400 I paid for it.
However, what made me really wonder is that it has nothing drilled or tapped for any kind if mount.

Has someone tried to increase the value of their Enfield at some point with a 'T' stamp?
Or have I gotten a sweet little piece?
I have been looking for examples of markings and haven't been finding anything to match what I have.
If anyone has an example to post if a real T models markings I would love to see. Or if anyone has a simple answer for me, would love to hear.
Thanks in advance.
 
Real T's (British) typically have a "TR" on the left cheek, "S" on the cutoff boss, "S51" under the butt, and, if assembled after a certain time in '43 and if actually equipped with scope at H & H, a Serif "T" on the left receiver flat. There should also be a D6E Enfield examiners stamp on the left rear of the receiver stamped at H & H. Apparently armorers might add the "T" to the receiver flat later during use. Long Branch T's have different (and fewer) distinct markings. So, having several T's on your rifle likely has nothing to do with it ever being in the chain for sniper conversion.

The buttstock should have an S51 on wrist. The machined rear sight will have battlesite cut off. There will be 2 metal pads screwed to left side of receiver for scope attachment(even if it was never matched with a scope). The web has plenty of pictures and reference material. Fakes are possible.
