Item Description: Translate description
serial #F16785, 303 British, 25'' barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing a hint of mild frosting and crisp rifling throughout. This attractive 1917-dated rifle retains perhaps 75% original blue with scattered areas toning to a mild gray-brown patina and showing some overall light surface oxidation. All markings remain intact and strong and the barrel shows matching serial number and '17 date beneath the handguard. The walnut stocks remain in very good plus to very fine condition showing the expected honest light wear, dings and handling marks. The stocks retain strong inspector marks throughout and the stock disc and buttplate show a light cleaning to a medium goldenrod patina. The magazine is un-numbered, the remaining serialized parts are matching and there are no import marks or British export proofs. The rifle includes a 1907-dated Wilkinson bayonet in very good condition that has been refurbished a number of times, the blade with some overall thin scratches and exhibiting a moderate cleaning, the leather scabbard is fine and the canvas frog strap shows an old repair with Velcro. Also included is a 1944-dated canvas sling, 1942-dated canvas rifle case, cleaning cylinder in butt, cleaning kit in green-painted 1945-dated tin, four 5-round stripped clips filled with surplus ammunition and a box of older Interarms 150 grain soft point ammunition. This is a very fine World War One era SMLE for the martial collector. (13A12051-1) {C&R} (1000/1500)
