Upcoming SMLE Mk Vs and sniper

[boltaction]

I see that at the upcoming Rock Island Auction Regional Sale, there are THREE SMLE Mk Vs. The first is listed in decent shape, listed as mismatched number, serial number A1861. It is lot number 356, one of 4 in that lot (a Commission G88, a Portuguese contract M937 K98, and an Italian something or other).

The second is lot number 375, serial number listed as 1280, in with an SMLE Mk III, a No 5 Jungle, a LB No 4 Mk I*, and an M47 No 4 which must be a T as one can see the top of the scope mount and the wooden cheekpiece. No scope with it.

The third is lot number 649, listed as serial number 8205, mismatched bolt, in with a P14 and a SPringfield 1903.

Ordinarily I would bid on at least one of these myself and import into Canada, but I have two already and it's not worth the hassle for me because they are multi-gun lots. However, for those of you in the US who might want one, could be worth chasing! Bizarre to see three all at once............ all do appear complete with their proper rearsight and barrel bands.
