These are later British inspection marks, found on 50s-era items. This marking has been observed on both metal & woodwork. It’s a combination of up to 4 numbers & letters, varying by inspector. I can’t say if it is a BSA or Fazakerly mark though, it appears on both.

Here’s one from my ‘52 BSA which I had handy:

I used to keep a folder of photos of this marking, but lost them all when I switched to an iPhone. At one point I owned a Long Branch with this marking on the butt socket under “‘52”.

Er, which markings are you referring to exactly?

PF is simply the serial prefix, my ‘49 South African has it.

I have found no information on these alphanumeric inspection codes.

We’re at the forefront.

PF rifle production began in late 1947, were the bayonets always numbered?

I see Fritz answered this in the Irish thread, the bayonets are considered to have been numbered in Ireland, as it was not British practice. Rifles within the Irish serial range (PF301,548 - PF405,415) also went to Burma, leading to confusion.
