Lithgow No1MkIII

[Mikesm44]

Here's my "new" Lithgow rifle. This is my first Australian rifle. I technically have another one, but it is a DP rifle. This rifle looks pretty good. The receiver and the bolt match, the nose does not seem to have a serial number on it. The wood is in good condition, but on the left side there is some damage to it. I also have 2 bayonets for this rifle, do you guys mind letting me know if either is more "correct" for it? Thanks.

Thank you very much. Here is a pic of it with it's "DP-ed" 1941 Lithgow brother, and I guess you'd call it's cousin, a BSA SHTLE dated 1918.

Mike, what's the serial number of the DP?

67685, the bolt is also matching on that rifle. Here is an earlier thread I put up for that rifle. My first Lithgow and my first rifle
