Maybe this one went through Turkey.

I have one, a Maltby, no export proofs, no signs of FTR or refit, and the stacking rod on the front band is easily removed.

Very cool. I'd imagine there's some interesting non-milsurp stuff in those films as well.

The original poster on CGN has admitted he photoshopped it.

Of course there's CGN's inveterate BSer and attention hound claiming he's seen crates of them in the '90's.

Could the "5" be photoshopped? It looks a little off.

Yes, Peter, PIN, cap, fore-end sounds right. It's the metal cap at the front of the fore end. It has 2 pins and the front band goes on between them. I'm missing one pin.

I have a 43 Long Branch with a C broad arrow stamped on the left side of the receiver just in front of the handguard.

It cost as much as any other similar LB I've seen.

My holy grail would be the exact SMLE that my grandfather used at Hong Kong with the Grenadiers. I suspect, however, he left it in poor condition before his capture.

So I guess then I'd have to...

This is a bit of a funny story. About five years ago I wanted to order a No4 Mk 1. I went to a dealer site, selected one and phoned about the item, referencing the item number. What arrived was a...

Hey all. I've been a lurker for a while, but a recent case if Enfielditis has brought me out of the weeds.
