My new 1916 SHt LE III Looks MINT

New to this site, great info on here, thought I would contribute a few pics of my recent auction find. 1916 SHt Le III Enfield, all numbers match, Bolt, barrel, etc. The gun looks unissued to me, I was told by a collector that looked at the barrel, he says it appears to be unfired. Not sure, but I thought I would let some experts take a look.

Thanks for the wealth of information on this site!

Let me know if you want to see specific pics.

It looks like a Standard Small Arms rifle as rebuilt in Australia. Not really sure. It sports a Parkerized finish and what looks to be coachwood furniture. Are there any FTR markings on the top of the receiver ring? I don't see any on the buttstock.

I think it is a crown, with G R below, then crossed flags, and a P. Beside that it looks like an L with 3L below, then a B

Jon Jovino import? https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=38243

Found a D D with arrow in between

Nice rifle!

Very very nice mate, looks to be in fanastic condition!

It's been back to the factory/workshops at least once, when it was converted from Mk.III* to Mk.III, and then a second time when it was converted back to Mk.III* standard. So I am afraid that it is far from issued.

1916 SSA
One of the rarest manufacture/date combinations!

If you pull the year hand guard you will be able to see when it was rebarreled. As nice as this rifle is I am curious as to when it was rebarreled. Nice piece of history there.
