This is the standard infantry rifle of the British Army and the forces of it's Empire during WW1, the Lee-Enfield rifle no1 mark 3*, made
at the BSA Co. factory. The butt socket is clearly stamped with the Royal Cypher of George V, indicating military issue, the maker B.S.A. Co, date of 1918, and the model SHT.L.E. III*. Below this it is stamped F.T.R. for Factory Thorough Repair. The all original furniture is in very good condition with the typical shortened upper handguards, and plugged butt-disc hole. The barrel has been replaced and is dated '44, and carries the same serial number as the breech, as does the bolt and rearsights. The steelwork is also in very good condition, retaining nearly all of it's original blued finish. An original example of this iconic rifle perfect for the reinactor or collector alike, that probably served in both World Wars. Generally known as the SMLE, this rifle cocks and dry-fires, has a detachable magazine and comes complete with correct brass-ended webbing sling and brass cleaning kit that stows in a compartment in the butt. The inert ammunition is not included, but is available in the 'Inert Ammunition' section at £1.50 per round. Deactivated in the UK with Certificate to UK specification.
