Ron

The fore end was damaged when I got it and I had a carpenter do a repair with a wood fore end cap. When I had the horn cap fitted recently the guy chequered the insert and re-did the fore end. I see now it does not match the grip. He generally only re-cuts existing chequering

The number 69 is on the fore end, there are other numbers on the stock - 2 ? (a stamp?) and the 69

The bolt is a mismatch, from when?????? The chequering under it is probably original W-R??

The W-R ? # 38061 is also under the barrel. I have no knowledge of stamps, etc. everything is as I got it. What number 178 are you referring to?

The butt plate is engraved, not blued, an indication of the condition I received it in. There is a horn cap on the pistol grip

Tinker - It shoots ok for me, AFAIR about 2 inch group at 50 yards with Mk VII military ammo which is all I can shoot with iron sights. I am sure it could be improved with a better shooter and ammo

Butt with numbers - what is the symbol/ number next to the 2

W-R ? number under barrel

Butt plate, with usual oil bottle and pull through

Many thanks to you all for the info and comments so far
