"Chilean" Mod. 1910 Ross With Bayonet

[Ovidio]

Today the guy who sold me my beloved SMLE has put the rest of his collection on sale.
It is a whole bunch of great, great rifles, in unbelievable conditions.
Among them, one of the 40 Ross rifles known to be still existing from those which were sold to Chile on the HMS Canada. Matching and with matching bayonet.
A real rarity!!!
He only sells the whole lot at once, market (Italian market) value 22.000 €.
Aaaaaaarghhhh.
I want that rifle, but he's not going to sell it.....alone.
Maybe someone could be interested in the bunch.
Here the link: Abano Terme | Armi lunghe | Armiusate.it | collezione, Armi Usate, Armi Nuove, vendita, acquisto

The guy is absolutely ok. A real collector, well known here.
His stuff is guaranteed!

I have two DA Rosses; that one looks to be in better condition than mine.
One has the matching bayonet with Royal Navy modifications.

He's got a nice MkII there as well I see.

There are more than 40 of those DA marked Rosses in existence. I compiled a list a while back of the known ones, and I should update it when I get around to it. I have just sold three of mine, one with the matching bayonet, so they are out there. Not sure about how you could import to Italy.......
