I have a Long Lee Enfield (Lee-Enfield Mark I) from 1896, a Mk. I (not Mk. I*) which has the cleaning/clearing rod hole. The rods were ordered removed according to Skennertonicon. Mine is issue marked on the top flat of the butt plate:
88.V.F
39
= 88th Regiment (Victoria Fusiliers) 39th weapon. They exisited in Victoria, BC from 1912 to 1920 when they merged with the 50th Gordons to form one of my old regiments, The Canadianicon Scottish.
Mine has the M&D marking on the butt above the garter belt.

Full military, all matching serial numbers. Complete with volley sights and dust cover. Missing only minor non-essentials i.e. sling, bayonet, oil bottle and pull through. No cleaning (renamed "clearing") rod as they were ordered removed by the Britishicon authorities.

This one had come from the collection my brother-in-law, the late Dr. Gerry Hicks (R.C.A.F. Reserve) whom I never met, so sadly I do not know where he got it from.
