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.
