Rifle 127
SMLE, No. 1 Mk III*. BSA, 1940. A typical early "Dispersal Rifle" marked
on the (steel) disk "IM" indicating issue to the Isle
of Mann Volunteers. Although part of the "Dad's Army",
the Isle of Man Volunteers seem to have been better equipped than most
the
Home Guard units probably owing to their exposed and critical position.
Overall 95%, bore VG (sharp and bright). Wood VG with typical small
dings and dents. Matched (bolt, receiver, barrel, sight, nosecap, and
forestock. No import marks. |
