You've got a US made No 4 Mk 1*. The 5 you refer to is actually a stylized S. S is for Savage. They were made in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. The US made rifles for the Brits for a few years during WWII. Accurate records weren't kept, but scholars put the serial no. 71C4853 as a 1943 build. The FTR just means that is was refurbished in 1948 in England in a suburb of Liverpool called Fazakerley. It was estimated that over 1.2 million No 4s were made by Savage.

I have no idea of the value in the States.

Safe Shooting!
