Shown are three rifles from my collection. The bottom rifle has the longer "L marked" butt. They are not commonly encountered or the cartridges and stripper clips for that matter.

Individual cartridges are scarce but seen fairly often, but the strippers, packets, and bandoliers are pretty rare. Then there are the rifles....!
Very nice collection.
