Interesting LEC

[Lance]

Picked up an interesting 1900 LEC Mk I* recently and finally got around to taking a few pic's of her.

The interesting part is the Karachi Arsenal rebuild, I was unaware that LEC were issued to India, maybe a left over from an English unit?? Surprisingly it was not modified to a SMLE Mk I** IP.

The original Enfield cartouche is visible underneath the Indian Government roundel. The forend and nose cap are both s/n'd to the rifle as per the 9/11/08 War Office instructions. There are no Indian ownership marks or inspectors marks at all on the metal.

Anyone have any data on LEC use in India??
