Ok, so you've opened the page- have a look at the criptic pics below and see if you can guess the rifle. Need model designtion to be correct- the winner gets to post the next puzzle. Clues will be added as needed.

Starting clues- it used to be longer, but now its smaller as well...

'ave a go- the more attempts I see, the more pics and clues you get.....

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

**Claven2** · 04-20-2007 08:38 AM

Why did I know you'd nail it down!-SDH

Oh, well... that was too easy. Yes it was a ConDII, but it had another life after that.

Ok, Claven2..

. what have you got for us to play with?
While he's working on it, here's a couple more pics of the Patt14 No1. It started life as a MLE Mk1*, then in 1905 became a Sht L.E. ConD II, which was Sht L.E. MkI spec. Then it became a Patt 14 No1 .22RF sometime after late 1914. The brass stock disc is dated 3 '15 (issue date). It has a "D" with the arrow inside denoting Australian icon

ownership on the butt, and also on the receiver ring. The butt has a cartouche from the EFD ConDII work as well. The rifle is all matching down to the original Long Lee foreend cut down for the first conversion.

Great piece!

I'll for certain post something challenging later tonight.

**Claven2** · 04-20-2007 06:54 PM

Allright, the time is ripe for a harder one (yes, it is a firearm - a very rare one at that. Note the serial number is 13).

1) What is it?
2) What is it used for?
3) What country is it from?
