Vincent,
Is the George Reigns Lee Enfield another question per chance to keep us on our toes for the weekend?

Nope. Austrian Gendarmerie. Not quite the same thing.

Often found on No. 1 Mk III's, Model 1917 pistols, some M-1 Carbines. The odd No. 4; from my experience these are scarce. May be others, as well.

To be more precise, our Gendarmerie in Kärnten used them. They were under British occupation after WWII and were given the SMLE rifles. These rifles are quite scarce, I often wonder how they managed to get to the US.

€dit: Gendarmerie were the Austrian police forces outside citites. They were fusioned with the police in 2005.
