There were 10,000 of these rifles made made in 1920 by BSA for the elite Siamese "Wild Tiger Corps", with a cute logo of a tiger on the butt socket along with the BSA markings and the serial number (in Siamese characters).
Check the United Kingdom - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)
1920 ShtLE (Short Lee-Enfield) Wild Tiger Corps No.1 MkIII* Rifle.
Examine the 106 picture photo montage, which might help members with questions.

that's a bit banged up, but thought would come up good with a clean
Next to it was another SMLE, with a badly chipped buttstock and mismatched fore wood. I thought the fore arm would be handy as a replacement so i figured it would make a good parts gun.
Sounds like a combined deal = reduced price scenario to me.

Its in pretty bad shape, might be a total refinishing job in the end.
Someone applied a serial number (not the registration number) to it with what looks like a center punch, so the finish will be wrecked in that repair
