If you post the details of the serial number or the markings on the rifle I'll let you know who and when the rifle was made. Or even better a pic of the rifle or a link to a pic.

Its an Australian model made in 1962.
The 'A' in the serial number stands for Austrlia (I think, or did we discount that idea) and the D is probably a city (anybody?) the 62 is definatly 1962 though.
The Brit L1's were in the format of
UE62A12345 which is United Kingdom, Enfield,1962. serial A12345.
UB59A12345 which is United Kingdom, BSA, 1959. Serial A12345.
UT60A12345 which is United Kingdom, Theale, 1960. Serial A12345. (I think its Theale???)
Kev A will have a better explanation as he's our resident L1 guru.
