Mk IIIS ?

Is there such a thing as a MkIII S?

reference to one. Why do you ask?

My rifle says III, then a worn character. Almost looks like a S.

if you don't mind

If it is worn, might it be the No.1 Mk.III*?
The '*' indicates some improvement - can't recall offhand what though.
Never seen mention of an 'S'.

I am going to break out my macro gear and show you guys! But that is like number 14 on the list! Sorry!

The No1 Mk III was modified in during WW1 to the No1 Mk III*. The modifications were wartime manufacturing simplifications that included removal of the magazine cutoff and volley sights.

And windage adjustments on the tangent sight.
