Mystery Enfield??????????

That IS a fabricated nosecap. I'm not famiuliar with these Darra fakes except for the AK's that we have brought back and the quality of this work isn't the dire quality from Darra. That's just my opinion Paul and others. And I stand by my bet. That's £20 to any forces charity if it's not an emergency variation.

While I'm not a historian, there are certain things on this that are soooooooooo similar to the production emergency Brens and P'14's we have that..... Yep, I think my £20 will stay in my pocket.

However, so that a Forces charity doesn't miss out on my £20, anyone prepared to bet a similar amount the other way?

Fabricated from bent up heavy gage plate? I'm thinking not. Again, I'm in for US$20 or thereabouts. The front of the cap with the boss may be brazed on, though.
