This sporter enfield belonged to my great grandfather, grandfather and now me. I've been trying to find makers marks or anything on it. It has a few stamp marks you can see in the pics below and the matching serial no 90201 on everything. I've gone through all the marks i could find online and none matched. I'm no expert on enfields, but i think it is a No4 mk 1. I've thought about restoring it but I don't even know where it was made or what the hell it is.

Any help would be great

Hi Rob,

Your great grandfather's sporter Lee Enfield started as a No4, indeed. There should be some extra info above the serial number on the left side of the receiver, which could help us figure out where it was originally made.

The portion of the receiver which had the original rear sight was ground off, so no restoration possible there. The work appears to have been well done (curious about the rear sight on the barrel, any close-up pic?), but the butt stock has a weird shape (rounded part on the under side where the fingers rest).

Actually there is nothing on the left side of the receiver but the serial #, I tried to get a clearer pic but I'm not the best photographer.
I'll try to get a close up of the rear sight, Its' just a flip up sight with 1,2,300 yard increments
 
It may have been done commercially, so the original markings could have been scrubbed off; otherwise, not sure what its story is!
