Issued to a Canadian Artilleryman late war
may have never been fired
I got it after his death from the friend of the original owner
the Bolt was missing at that time
As nice as the 'story' is there is an element of wishful thinking.
After the war the UK MOD sold it off into the UK civilian gun market (hence the UK civilian proof-marks), the some time after it was sold to a dealer in the USA - does it have any import marks ?
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
