Just felt like posting up a couple of the SMLEs in the collection. Both are BSA manufacture rifles. The black 303 rifle is a 1917 ( to go with the movie) and the other is a 1912 22LR trainer.

I have always been interested in the early Mark 1 and ConD marked Lee Enfields. Most or i should say about 99 % of the Mark 1*** rifles are from the Irish imports and all have the second serial number with the prefix CR, ER or G that are found in the USA. I was able to find a nice BSA Mark 1*** 1906 still with original markings and condition.
Photos show Mark 1*** and Cond ii* rifle

You should be able to find a Pattern 1907 dated around 1917 or 18 if you shop around. My friend found a 1907 Wilkinson with the hooked quillon for me at a remote gun show in northern Wisconsin about twenty years ago, it was mixed-in with some Japanese bayonets. Now I see that Joe Salter has a hooked quillon for sale for $1800.00 and SARCO has the repros alot cheaper. Photos show the Wilkinson and a 1915 dated Sanderson. The hooked quillon was discontinued around 1914 and the older ones had the hook removed - so an original is rare.
