Lee-Enfield for Parade

[Giove]

Here, in Italy there are some SMLE "For Parade"; they have cromed magazine, nosecap and band.

Have they been so modified in G.B., in Canada or here?

Thanks. Giancarlo

Italy.

Our guys didn't use anything like that for parade.

In the British Army, I've seen the odd chromed bayonet. Usually SLR or No5 bayonets. But never seen rifle parts treated that way.

[Giove]

Thank you all.

Chromed bayonet: I have this WSC

[CINDERS]

WSC = Wilkinson Sword Company they also made one with just Wilkinson on it.

Not in this Kingdom anyway, the only time that it ever got traction here briefly, was when the RAF Regiment had a new boss who wanted all Royal events rifle carriers to have shiny bayonets!

Didn't last long thank God

These, in Italy, were rifles belonging to the Navy. The Navy has always been a rather "particular branch".

Giove,
Not likely to see an angry man in the Navy are they.............except on a pub crawl in Genoa
