My No. 4, MK 1 Enfields

Usually Australian webbing has the DbroadarrowD acceptance marks on it. It is a little different colour as well. karkeeweb.com is a great place to start with information on webbing.

Nice collection of accoutrements and accessories, too. You've been studying this stuff for a while, it appears, gbalke.

Copy and paste saves me typing what I was going to say. I am in process of aquiring kit fore my Enfields. It really adds to the rifles ,I think.

Now that I actually have it in my hands, I thought you all might like to see my newest Enfield, even though it is not a No. 4. Say hello to my little friend; my 1944 dated Australian made, Lithgow No.1, MK III:

Thanks for the offer, but I like it as it sits. As far as the furniture, that is what draws me to the Lithgows. Nothing else in the Enfield family seems to compare. The Lithgow is truely a piece of art I would proudly hang on my wall. Wait till you see it mated up to my '43 dated Lithgow bayonet.

Wow, that looks great. Glad she found a good home.
I hope to get a Lithgow that looks like that one day. All mine are almost black.

I just added another Enfield to my collection. Won it on an online auction for a very reasonable bid and took posession of it last night. The serial number and date etched on the receiver are pretty difficult to read, so I can't be sure when it was manufactured. Now I need to add the correct sling and start saving my milk money for an original bayonet. Let me know what you guys think.
