All's well that ends well!! Sounds like you got the best and right deal in the end Alan. Does your L42 have a UIN or unit markings on the chest?

The site had a 1914 SMLE on there a while ago for £1,750. Admittedly, they must be very desirable rifles, but I paid £650 for my 'all matching' 1914 dated SMLE in 2008 and thought that pretty expensive...

I think the prices are, shall we say, 'rather ambitious'.

All the best

No - I've asked the RFD if he has any knowledge of it. All I know is that he bought it in from Ireland (and not from the guy selling all those 4T bits and scopes on ebay recently)

I'll post pics soon in a new thread.
