I saw a rack of them for sale at Waffen-Frankonia in Wurzburg in 1980 (funny what I remember).

My Enfielditis was initially started by service in the Army Cadets at the tender age of 13, but didn't actually get round to owning one until many years later when I was serving in Germany and I too walked through the doors of Frankonia, for me it was in Hannover. Along the back wall was about 20 Lee Enfields and although I'd originally gone in to buy a hunting rifle I crumbled and used my newly aquired hunting license to buy an SMLE III*. I was simply amazed at the ease with which I could buy a rifle or shotgun in Germany compared to the rigmarole we have to go through in the UK.

I am told that it is even easier now than it used to be in the 80s. I caused a big stir when I showed up at the rod and gun club range at our kaserne with an HK 91 that I had brought from the U.S. The German running the range was convinced it was a stolen G3. Once we got past that issue the locals all wanted a go at shooting it.

Just yesterday, several score No9's and several hundred No8's went to auction here in NZ having been saved from the UN edict on destroying defence force weapons. I got a nice No8 (photos to come) and the No9's apparently fetched 600 to 1000 $NZ (currently at .50 $US)
