When the Enfield is delivered take a small piece of the wrapping and see if it burns with a greenish-orange glow. This glow means the paper was treated with arsenic to prevent insect damage.

Then after the Enfield is completely unwrapped take the rifle into a completely darkened room and see if it glows in the dark. This means the rifle was irradiated and is still slightly radioactive and mold spores and fungus will not grow in the wood or linseed oilicon.

Don’t forget to tell all your friends and fellow collectors who have wrapped Enfield’s about this special preservation treatment. That way in a few weeks when the panic starts and the prices hit rock bottom I will be able to afford a beautiful piece of history.

P.S. Did I tell you if you hold your new Enfield for too long it will make you sterile and all your hair will fall out.
