Where'd he get it?
1952 Ishapore SMLE MkIII* - but with the oval shaped front muzzle thingy instead of the rubbish looking square cut ones. I think I may have the wrong sling as it seems about a foot too long. I need to find a stacking swivel as well.
Anyone know what this marking on the stock is?
Nice boomstick Martin
Given to me as a gift from my father-in-law, an Air Ministry Type P.6 aviation compass as fitted to spitfires and Hurricanes up to 1941 
And delivered today, top quality replica WH MG mount for the krad.
“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."

From China, i think. But the inner workings are true to the original as well.

You might want to be careful with that, as I believe the paint they used to make it glow in the dark was actually radioactive! Led to a lot of infertility in pilots apparently becuase it sat right between their legs. I'm not 100% sure on this by the way before you chuck on a NBC suit!

You are quite correct! The cardinals (N-E-S-W) and the 10-deg. markings on the compasses were made of a radioactive compound (radium and zinc sulfide) which is still very "hot" although the paint is no longer visible in the dark. In 50 cm (1 1/2 ft) distance, the gamma radiation measured is 0.35 µSv/h (microsieverts/hour). The natural background radiation is about 0.10 µSv/h. The threshold for dangerous radiation is 0.30.
Needless to say i won't be opening it up to clean it and I'll be keeping it stored well away from the kids!

I think I may have the wrong sling as it seems about a foot too long.
Yes it is... I suspect it's a bren sling.
I need to find a stacking swivel as well.
Only if your desperate. I think they were deleted fairly early on.
Anyone know what this marking on the stock is?
No, but there's a book which has them all in it. I don't have it, but if you post on pozzi you may find someone who does and can identify it.

Yes it is... I suspect it's a bren sling.
But doesn't the BREN sling have big hook clips on both end, unless they've been removed?
I know that there are at least two lengths of LE style sling, as I have one that is barely long enough to fit either a No1 or No4 - I've always been lead to believe that it's for the British Thompsons.

The big hooks are completely separate pieces and can easily be removed. What goes in between is basically an Enfield rifle sling.
At some point there was an extra long sling that was for the Bren, though often a standard rifle sling was used, and I suspect that's what Martin has there. (minus the hooks/clips)
Thanks for the info chaps.
If anyone has a suitable sling they'd like to flog or swapsie with this one then please pm me.

More info that you could possibly need about rifle and bren slings:

I assume yours is one of the 58" slings, rather than 46". Since the 58" sling appears to have been brought in post-war, I'm afraid I'm not interested in it. 
postman seemed to struggle a bit today 
tooooo much to list so ave just put pics
