Lithgow Low Mount Sniper

[Badger]

The MKIII HT listed sold in 8hrs, advertised on the web at 11pm it was bought at 7am next morning.

If authentic and all correct, I can understand why, as it was a very good price at $5,500 ....

Save original ad here for posterity and future research ...

A nice example of a very hard to find military rifle. This genuine Lithgow No1 MkIII {no star} (HT) Low Mount Sniper went to store in 1945. It was one of only 480 odd SMLE low-mount SMLEs ever produced & was converted from a 1941 manufactured Lithgow, making this rifle a rare example, as most snipers were based on early WW1 manufactured Lithgows, with a few early English made actions thrown in {approx 10%}. Serial number can be confirmed in Ian Skennertons book, \"The Lee Enfield Story\". All numbers match throughout rifle, & it comes complete with original scope carry case, factory numbered 1588,.... this number matching the top & bottom mounts & the brass eye piece of the scope,....all are marked 1588. Scope is also engraved & numbered to the rifle 74568 & comes complete with original leather lens protectors. Timber is in un-issued condition, with correct \"H\" stamp on wrist. Optics are like NEW. Bore is PERFECT, shiny, with sharp lands & without a blemish. Selling because I need the $ for my next rare purchase. Price not negotiable unless you have something very rare & unusual to trade! **DEPOSIT TAKEN** $5500
