I recently won a Lithgow N01 at an on-line auction, dated 1942 and in pretty good shape. Looks like it has been FTR'd and has a great bore. I can't find any import mark.

Nosecap is odd..no bayo lug or small round "thingy" in front
Marked "BA", as are a number of small parts.
A few other pics..

Some nice looking wood, ya got! no homo.
I would like another SMLE. I know where there are 4 closeby for $250-300. But I'm trying to save for a M1917 rifle! ARGH!!!Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

fabulous looking stock.
just a word of caution from my own experience: i bought a lithgow off a fellow calgunner and the old coachwood stock just came apart the second time we took it out. not sure if the rounds are hotter now from then or if it was just bound to happen to mine or what... but be gentle with her if that's original coachwood, which is softer than what the brits used for theirs during ww1.
if you strip the stock, you'll see under the stock some extra little pads which are to help absorb shock. if you see those, you're probably original and wanna be super careful. i had to restock mine.
absolutely fantastic looking rifle, congrats!"If the American Left wanted to decrease interest in shooting, they should have the government make it mandatory like they do here in Switzerland. Nothing makes you not want to do something like when the government makes you do it."

The "A arrow F" on the front left of the receiver is the markings for the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force)
For what ever reason the bayonet lug has been removed....
Use these scans to translate the marks on your rifle.
