    It was found in Normandy a good few years ago. Like a Bloody fool I let a mate buy it off me and have regretted it ever since

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    Weeeeeell - there are no obvious T & TR markings, but I suppose it could be an early one (before the markings were standarised)
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    No, couldn't be that early; has the rectangular section trigger guard.
