Can any one here tell me if these Enfield muzzle covers are actual military issue or not, and if so, were they used in WW I, WW II or both? Peter?

Hi
I have never seen this type of cover on British service Enfields rifles on issue during WW1 or WW2, and would expect it to have broad arrow or other markings if military issue. Perhaps you should put the picture on the Vintage Military Gear forum someone on there might recognise it
Those don't look like the Enfield muzzle covers I've seen. I still have plenty of Australian ones in stock.

I've never seen those before. Only action covers. Never seen them in any field pics either. I think they're someone's dream.
The covers are for the Bren gun.
If your after a cover for the SMLE, then you will need to look on their SMLE page, they have them listed for $9.99 USD. They are Australian and dated 1952

Yes, saw those on the web site. I'm looking for a war dated cover though, not post war.Quote:

1952 dated muzzle covers are war dated --- Korean War dated.
