The "star" is an * which denoted improvements from the #1 mark III standards. If I recall the magazine cutoff was done away with and there were changes to the rear sight with the Mark III*. Just for your further information I think this is a "dispersal" rifle with the way the "41" is stamped. Dispersal rifles were made in shops/garages around England to avoid the bombing of the blitz after the loss of so much at Dunkirk, they were short of rifles and these were made up on existing receivers in de-centralized places while the factories were being bombed. Also has the SHTLE marks instead of the SMLE lettering indicating an even older receiver. At least that is what I see, I've been wrong before and will again.
