CLLE/Long Lee carbine?? LOTS of pics.

[Anzac15]

This finally arrived today. It was billed as a Long Lee carbine. I don't know where to begin with this. I saw the 'Khyber' lettering on the buttsocket early on, but everything else looked legit, so I snagged it. I have given it a once over, and everything looks like the real deal. Here are some highlights of it....buttplate bears a unit marking of '19.LD.' Any idea on unit ID? Right side of buttstock bears remnants of a roundel and unit markings. I will have to get a loop on those to make them out. It appears to have a barrel date of 1909. All proof marks appear legit. Volley sights are legit. Knoxform marked 'E' for Enfield rifling, which by the way, the rifling is really nice. All in all, this seems to be a legit 'carbine', with 'Khyber' marked buttsocket. No idea why. Lots of pics here, looking forward to opinions on this one.
