Am I missing something here or has it gone a bit silly for these MkIII's apart from them not making them anymore, though the 1915 & 19 would be ones for the collection I guess.
From usedguns.com.au "Rebel Gun Works" selling them they have known to be a pricey shop.

Comment: Lithgow SMLE MK III* Manufactured 1919. Usual condition for a rifle being 99 years old. Has matching bolt. Heavy barrel, strong rifling, bit of shadowing.
All of these might have to go on the Lithgow serial list as at least we know where they are somewhere in Aus.Information
