Good day all. I'm trying to nail down some information regarding a magazine I recently purchased. I believe it to be Australian as there's an "A" inside a 7 pointed star. The stamps on the back, in descending order from top to bottom, are a "5" then a "2", then the 7 pointed star with the "A" and the bottom is a large "4". On the magazine follower is the same "A"/star stamp and the number "3". Unfortunately, I don't think my camera will get in tight enough to get pics, but perhaps I'll try later. The magazine itself is in very very good condition. The bluing is worn on the high points, but there are no dents or dings, rust, or damage. So? What say you guys?

I concur that it is an Australian manufactured magazine and platform. They display the Lithgow star.
Type 4 magazine, type 3 platform is correct. The auxiliary spring should be marked as a type 4 also.
