How anal is everyone about the authenticity of their Enfields or parts?

I'm wary of Ammo Zone's service rifle offerings. Having had a close look at the muzzles and crowns of rifles advertised by them as "new barrel fitted" or "very good condition" I'd pick very, very carefully. (and they stamp serial numbers into Enfield woodwork!)

My No.4 Mk.2 is entirely authentic and all matching, other than that one I don't expect all matching numbers, So many of the older rifle have been FTR'd I don't expect them to match.

I bought a SMLE at the tail end of last week, looks fine to me. No serial no.s on the woodwork. What should I look for in at the business end to check?
