I started my collection with a Lithgowicon No1 MkIII* all matching made in 1943 when I was 12. It was and still is my first true bolt gun love.
As for my holy grail, it was just a simple No4 MkII and I got lucky enough to get two of them about three years ago. One is an Irish Constabulary rifle that was full of grease when I got her. The other is a slightly lower numbered Fazackerly No4 MkII that was issued and still wears a faint unit stencil on the butt and has a replacement walnut forward handguard. To top it all off they were in the collection of a man thats known my whole family and was one of my inspirations to become US Marine when I was a kid, which I also did.
I also picked up my first No5 over the weekend, I'd never been interested in them until lately and now I kick myself for having gotten one sooner.
I guess I could be happy with good conditon Savage No4 MkI..............
