Snagged a December 1999 production HS 2000 for $275 at a pawn shop in the middle of no where Rural Florida.

For those that don't know; the HS 2000 was made by a company called IM Metal, in 2002 they signed a deal with Springfield Armory. SA became the sole distributor for the pistol and rebadged it as the XD and IM Metal changed their name to HS Produkt. This is a very early production gun in the XD line of pistols.

1942 SMLE No.4 Mk1*.
My first "classic" rifle. Upon closer inspection it appears pretty beat up - a lot of the engravings have faded, the wood has been pretty scarred. Rifling (2 groove) appears to be reasonably proud throughout midsection, barrel is quite pitted (which I understand to be a consequence of corrosive nitrocellulose ammunition). The crown is virtually smooth.
Bought it mainly as a collector's piece, the other example on offer was a Mk2 but it had been modified and the Beech wood wasn't to my aesthetic taste, even if it was supposedly a better shooter.
I've had a poke around on allaboutenfields.co.nz which was quite useful but his list of markings (by his own admission) was inconclusive, as my rifle features markings that either aren't there - or I'm not able to discern them properly.
From what I can tell in my limited research to date, is that this rifle was produced by ROF Maltby in South Yorkshire. The receiver and wrist have matching serial numbers. I cannot see any serial number on the bolt itself - the only marking on which are a "F" and "2", I'm assuming that the "F" denotes ROF Fazakerely production?
There are markings on the weapon but markings that I'm expecting to see, such as a crown or broad arrow are seemingly absent.
I *think* that there might be the shaft of a broad arrow above the serial number located on the wrist but it's missing the head. From what I've seen on the internet, the quality of the markings can be sometimes half-arsed. Completely understandable if one was being bombed incessantly.
Enfield experts out there @res, please - Lend me your eyes (with apologies to William Shakespeare).
Nice Ryan, I wish I could say I was the expert you think I am-I just enjoy researching the old rifles. Unfortunately I'm away from my library of reference books for a few weeks so maybe take the best photos you can and post them up on the NZ Lee Enfeild Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/729247080450782/) and the other train spotters will fight each other to tell you what it all means
Thanks Res - unfortunately I'm not a member of StasiBook and have no intention of joining. I need to get a magnifying glass and sit and jot down what I think the markings are and where they're located and see if I can cross-reference them with a resource on the internet... until you get back to your books, heh.
I feel a .303 vs 6.5x55 Swe shoot is in order.
