Lee Enfield collecting, or when one is not enough

[Pioneer3fingers]

Hello all. I'm a new member, although I've monitored this site for some time as it is a great source of information.

I started collecting Lee Enfields in 2000, becoming interested in them through a friend. Now I have 23 of them, as well as 27 bayonets. It's an addiction - getting various rifles built by their various makers, then wanting the appropriate bayonets, again from their various makers (preferably with the same date as the rifle, although I know that makes absolutely no difference to most people). My collecting interests primarily are centered in Mk III*'s and earlier models, and in recent years I've gotten into trainers (the most recent acquisition being a .22 Short Rifle Mk II). The bayonets mainly are 1888's, 1903's and, of course, a lot of 1907's. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and hopefully won't make a fool of myself when posting.
