Hi all, been lurking a while so finally joined and here is my first post.

I just bought a 1917 SMLE III* and waiting to take delivery (interstate) but would like to press my luck here and see if anyone can tell me more about my acquisition than what I assume I know. From what I can tell which is probably the obvious to most, is that it's a Lithgowicon SAF built SMLE MkIII* (lightly pitted barrel) built in 1917. I beleive the woodwork has been restored/refinished. Is there anything else that you cn tell me from the pictures that have been sent to me from the current owner?

Additionally what would be tbe correct sling for this rifle to keep in true to age?

Thanks all!
