The No1 MkIII was produced from 1907 to 1944 in Britain and until 1941 in Australia. They were produced in India from 1909 to 1916 and again from 1920 to 1936. They were produced at these factories:
Royal Small Arms Factory Enfield
Birmingham Small Arms Co
London Small Arms Co
Ishapore Rifle Factory in India
Lithgow in Australia
The No1 MkIII* was produced from 1915 to 1919 in Britain, from 1941 to 1953 in Australia and 1936 to 1963 and again from 1970-74 in India. Besides the factories mentioned above they were manufactured at the Standard Small Arms Factory and at National Rifle Factory 1. These factories didn't produce finished rifles but manufactured recievers and parts which were assembled at the BSA or Enfield Factory. These are known as "peddled scheme" rifles.
Note: RSAF Sparkbrook never manufactured the No1 MkIII rifle. They were purchased in 1906 by BSA and mainly did conversion work. It is thought that they produced a few No1 MkI* rifles.
