My PH P.53 is S/N 5455 and I bought it brand new in 1978

Yes, the 1841 is your serial number, on the left side of the breech. Sounds like you got a good English made one, must be from the late seventies, early eighties or so.

I purchased a used PH 1853 Enfield at a gunshow in the D.C. area a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to determine age and record info on the rifle for records keeping. Where is the serial number located?

I removed the barrel, and here are the markings I can see stamped on the barrel:
Location_________________Stamp
Top of barrel________________"Parker-Hale Ltd. Birmingham England"
Top/Left side, breech area____"1841"
Bottom_____________________Crown symbol and "BP"
Bottom_____________________"31/2 Drams Black Powder"
Bottom_____________________"577 536 GRs Bullet"
Bottom_____________________Circle symbol divided in thirds with "A", "B" and "5" each in one thrid.

Is the serial number the "1841" on the left of the barrel on the breech end?
