First Generation P-H Enfields identification?

[saddler]

Pete Starley at http://www.black-powder.co.uk/bp.htm has several .451s in his stock list linked at the bottom of the page. He's at Warwick.

Thanks for that

I just missed a 451 P-H last Sunday at an auction in Sweden - chose the wrong hour to nip out for a coffee & some food!!

Will have to e-mail Pete to get more info on what versions they are, etc. as his descriptions are a little lacking in detail

Hi Reasearch press I have 2 band PH enfield and was wondering if you are still able to find the barrel age from the proof markings. Mine has a G next to B with a 4 underneath all within a circle ?

Thanks

I'm not Research Press but I can tell you it was proof stamped 1981 Birmingham.

Having revisited this thread for serial number info I though the following chart I found on t'internets would be useful.

Can anyone offer any advice as what to look for when looking over a Parker Hale muzzle loading rifle for prospective purchase, a buyers guide?

The Euro-Arms/Pedersoli "Parker Hale" Enfields have metric threads. If anybody wants a standard PH P53 in good condition, there is one for sale on our club website: www.stourportonsevernpistolnrifleclub.co.uk.
