I saw a Indian Model II Lee Metford at a North Carolina gun show today. Hard to read original markings, looked to be ground. Looked like it was rebarreled and restocked as a NoI MkIII. looked to be matching. Asking $800.00, firm. Also marked England. A post 1968 import to the US. Owner would not let me check the barrel. I walked. ------------- Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland. English and Canadian gun parts. |

| could be a decom as well , might have been plugged , ive always felt a full inspection without disassembly was a reasonable request , removing a bolt to look at bore is not unreasonable at all , id walk to at that price , an 600 wall hanger is just a fun discussion starter , fine f thats what you want but too rich for my wall , |

I know it in different words. From a Military," When in doubt whip it out". Oh wait, that's is about saluting foreign officers. ------------- Always looking for military manuals, Dodge M37 items,books on Berlin Germany, old atlases ( before 1946) , military maps of Scotland.

As a friend of mine commented on seeing some salutes form other nations: "SALUTE! THAT IS NOT A SALUTE! (THAT IS A W@NKING SPANNER)"!  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |
