Catching up on another purchase from a couple of months ago, a 1917 Enfield factory No1 MKIII*.
Picked it up in a shop in Connecticut for $275 OTD. Complete numbers matching unit. The numbers are a little worn on the underside of the WWII era beech forestock, but legible enough. The bore is relatively worn, especially at the muzzle, but not badly pitted and with decent rifling.
Overall, I'm generally pleased with the condition considering it's likely service in two world wars, and possible post war training assignment in a country such as Greece. Handguard ears are cut around the rear sight, but can't have everything! Century Arms import.
Well, lots of marks and stamps to take pics. And thanks for looking.
