Hey guys

i recently picked up a Savage made SMLE NO4 MK1 a few days ago and have a questions as to the markings on it 

as you can see from the first photo, there is a mark on the top of the receiver I’m not familiar with - any ideas

she shoots great. It’s a 1942, two groove. All parts are marked Savage including the stock 

I think I did pretty well

thanks for the help

The Arrow in the U is a South African ownership mark, a real bonus!

Lets slot floppies!

And if it is all Savage, then you scored big time, what a nice piece!

Looks real nice if I am correct ( could be wrong) I think all the savages were originally built with the 3/6 flip sight not the adjustable on your rifle.

Early Savage made rifles came with the micrometer sight.  But they're pretty hard to find these days, and when you do find them they're spendy.

Here’s a photo of the sight. It is marked Savage.
