A number 8t! I seem to recall Peter L making ref to the incredible scarcity in his book.
there's some deals, I'd buy these two for those year dates, even at the price
543 = LITHGOW SMLE NO.1 MKIII* RIFLE: 1953; 10 shot; 25.2" barrel; f. to g. bore; thinning military finish to metal; all complete; exc wo & cond. #F39741 matching L/R =
544 = LITHGOW SMLE NO.1 MK.III RIFLE: 1913; 303; 10 shot; 25.2" barrel; vg bore; black military finish; with mag cut off; matching bolt; no number to nose cap; extensive, clear butt markings; exc wo & cond. #926 L/R
and then I also see;
732 = no 32 scope, 811 = no1 mkV 1924, 832 = HT, 834 = longbranch TP sniper, 838 = urk but rare and intersting I think, 861 = lithy new 43,
interesting cross range of rare enfields, wow.
It is really sad to see his collection being busted up....
Here's one pic... one pic only.

Hmmm, very nice... I noticed buckets of great gear at this auction, seems to be heaps more than in previous auctions. i wonder if the No4 T's will go for those high predicted prices? All seem higher than market price. It will be interesting to see.
Guess I will buy a Lottery ticket today.
How can one export from Australia (or are there any exporting companies)? ;)
