Gun Watch Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Enfield smle SMLE WW1 De-activated + colt + sword + bayonet £675 Other Rifle Private Seller New York, East Riding of Yorkshire De-activated Description The last bit’s I’m selling from my collection A Scarce De-activated (with Birmingham Proof House Certificate) SMLE MK1 *** previously part of a large private collection belonging to the Late Lieutenant General Sir Michael Gray of Pocklington. (Yorkshire Post Link), see photo’s attached. This rifle is dated 1907 to the wrist and has matching serial numbers to both receiver and barrel. It is largely in late WW1 Mk 3* format having picked up various modifications (most probably throughout WW1). 1907 was the last year of the No.1 Three Star before the MK3 was officially adopted. The sliding charger guide has been replaced with a rear charger bridge and the magazine cut-off plate has been removed. The additional volley sights have been taken off, but the front dial is still in place and you can see where the rear site was as this rifle still benefits from its original woodwork. The upper hand guard is the original early type with the sight protectors being an integral part of the hand guard. The gun finished its service life as a Drill Purpose rifle. This SMLE is in a decent honest condition, especially given that it is 117 years old this year. Reluctant sale, only genuine enquires please, viewing welcome REDUCED to £675 Also a P1907 bayonet, Dated for 1915, still has a lot original blueing finish on Ricasso, blade lightly sharpened.
