I recently acquired a "like new" mag for the No.4 Lee Enfield. It has a beautifully stamped Long Branch nomenclature serial number stamped on the bottom, but the stamp on the back is "FJ44" and there are no other markings on the front, the magazine follower or the spring that I can see. What are the odds that the rifle from which it came was perhaps refurbished at some point and the armourer just took a new mag from stores and serial numbered it after it was fitted and adjusted to the rifle? I'm not unhappy in any case. The magazine is in 10/10 condition and anyone who's into the Lee Enfields knows how scarce they're becoming especially in that kind of shape. Any good info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
