Some of my Enfields. While I've basically been a K98k collector, I'm a big fan of Enfields :dancingbanana:

Wonderful collection Ham ... :thup:
What is that No.4 second from the bottom?
The wood grain and striping on her is awesome ... :)
I'll have to get my wife (she's the Enfield collector) to come have a look at these. :cheers:

Heck, I was busy peering at the Denison smock that I didn't even notice the No.4 T straight away. Beautiful collection.
Tks Badger. It's a Long Branch 1943, NZ marked.
A little OT, but here are some further Denison pics Spinecracker.

Nice looking smock Ham… :thup:
Believe it or not, to add to her Enfield sniper collection, my wife found an original 1944 SIZE # 1 jump smock that fits her perfectly. The bonus was she found a period empty "candy wrapper" in the pocket.

Very cool Badger. The great thing about those WW2 Denisons is all are different ;)
That LB is a beautiful old gal. I'd buy her a drink anytime.
That candy wrapper looks like one from a packet of Spangle's; a square fruit flavoured hard boiled sweet with a dip in the middle, it's been a few years since I last had one.Quote:
