No, I can't enlarge the pics-the markings on the side of the chamber are commercial proof marks for civilian sale-the action body is where the bolt sits inside-the factory markings and serial number are there on the left hand side or should be unless someone has ground them off.
Ok, I`ll chek it out.
I can`t find more than that, hope it will help.

Very nice rifle! Thanks for showing.

Your svt40 was also lovely.
Regarsds Yab.
Yab, your rifle is correctly known as a Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1 rather than Mk4 No.1, the Mk4 or MkIV was a .22 SMLE version.
Cocking piece is marked 'W & S' = Ward and Sons, Birmingham so probably a British production rifle-ROF (Royal Ordinance Factory) Maltby, ROF Fazakerley or BSA Shirley assuming the bolt is original to the rifle.
PS the rear sights are the Mk2 'flip' 2 position battle sights-usually fitted to US Savage Stevens made rifles but of course could have been refitted to your rifle at any time over the last 70 years or so.
