Oh! the shame of it all

[Lee Enfield]

Its the collector grade, 'full set' L42 for only $895........at 1994 exchange rates that was just over 600 quid .................

But that was probably quite a lot back then for one, even a minter.

Notice those prices are the dealer pricing, "suggested retail" is $1200.


In 1994 I was pulling down around $9 - $10/hr... and had money to burn.

I turned down a cased L42 because I thought (and was advised) $1100 was too much when a No4T was around $800...

And I turned down my friends Savage No4T because it wasn't Canadian...

I could go on, but I'll start to cry....
