I have two extra #1 nosecaps. The serial #s are E41324 & 9229. Can anyone help with where the whole rifles were made? It must be late at night but I'm not making sense of the bible.
Thanks

Without any other clues it's almost impossible to come up with anything but a basic educated guess. E41324 is most likely a 1917 BSA or a WWII era Lithgow or Ishapore. SSA is a remote possiblity, but LSA didn't use an 'E' prefix on MkIIIs or III*s. I don't believe EFD used 5 digit numbers, but I may be off base there.

A 4 digit, no prefix number has too big a range of possibilities to even hazard a guess.

Any other marks anywhere on them?

E41324 has a BA stamp so that puts it as WWII Lithgow right?
9229 has a F 85 stamp inside & a small, feint EFD under an arrow & above what appears to be 11.
I can definitely see a bit more clearly this morning.

A "BA" stamped bolt would be WWII Lithgow. There should also be a number stamped under the bolt handle.

It certainly sounds like you have an EFD made bolt as well.
