Lee Enfield MK4 No1 scope mount and informations

[stedram]

Hi Guys
I recently found a Lee Enfield MK4 No1 in an old house (on the roof of the house) probably is there from the war.
I took it and it is in a great condition.
I do not know many for Lee Enfields and i would like your help for this Enfield.
Can anybody tell me a few for this model (MK4 No1)? production date? production country? is it collectable?
I want to put on it a mount base for optics, where can i find one?
Is it same with the MK1 No4?
Please help!!!!!!!

Well, assuming the old house was your property or you had permission to take the gun, congrats on some great luck.

The no-gunsmith mounts are usually different for the No.1 and No.4 since the No.4 has a receiver mounted peep sight. Most of the regular eye relief sights I've seen for the No.4 use the mounting holes for the rear peep.

Here's a no-gunsmith mount for a No.1:
