Name that Milsurp!

Yes, a Hi-Power. A MkI* to be precise. But not just *ANY* pre-No.2 MkI*... something makes this one very special

Look closer at the pics. A copy of "Inglis Diamond" might help...

PS: Badger - you keep quiet - I know you've seen this photo before

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

The only thing that comes to mind is something special, like the gold plated, white gripped "CDH" that was in our favourite ***.

Ding-ding! But let's not comment on the current owner (I edited your post). I'm 100% positive they don't want their identity and wherabouts broadcast

One of 5 special gold plated Hi-Powers given out by the Inglis factory during production. This particular one was gifted to CD Howe, the "minister of everything". Apraisal is in the $20,000 range

I know two of the other 5 are at the National War Museum, and one other is in the RCMP collection. The location of the 5th is unknown to me. This particular one is owned by a friend of mine whom tiriaq also knows. It's in a very good home

Good Gawd...

I have to cry foul!! That gun is not a milsurp. None of those five ever went to war. I doubt they have even seen the inside of a holster.
