What’s your Lee Enfield Holy Grail?

[TomcatPC]

Hello

I'd love to have any Lee-Enfield(or Lee-Metford) Rifle that Served with the Somerset Light Infantry Regiment. That could be a Boer-War era "Long Lee", a S.M.L.E. Mk.III* from the Great War, or a No.4 Mk.I that was at Hill 112...etc.
My Dad's family is from the Mendip Hills and Chew Valley region of North Somerset, that is where the interest comes in at.


The other Lee-Enfield/Metford that I'd love to have someday would be any of the Victorian era "Long-Lee" Enfield/Metford Rifles. Living in the U.S. I have only seen two or three in "real life", one was at the Staffordshire Yeomanry Museum in Stafford, Staffs., and two were at large gun shows here in the U.S. Needless to say, in my current financial situation, it will be many decades before I can even think of purchasing one. Meanwhile I am grateful for the few "run of the mill" Lee-Enfield Rifles I do have.

I also have a growing interest in the commercial made "Lee-Speed" rifles.
Thank you
Mark
