Chromed No1 MK3

[UncleWalther]

I picked up a chromed broad-arrow stamped 1918 Lee Enfield No1 Mk3 a number of years back. All metal parts are bright chromed, even the mag and the bayonet. The sling is correct and it is white. I was told it was a parade rifle. Anyone seen these before? Do they have any particular appeal to collectors?

I posted some pics below about 5 posts down. The pics don't really do it justice.

Yeah, I have a chromed P07 Bayonet I am rehabbing, but this I gotta see!

I'll post some pics. I just noticed that the arrow stamp inside of a larger C. That means it's Canadian right?

I have seen them in the past, they are not uncommon at all.

I found that rifle. I was told about it and went to the gent's house and bought it about 10 years ago.

He told me the Legion was after him to donate it as a colour guard rifle or something.

Cabela's in Barrie had one just like it about a year ago.

That's a nice looking no.1, Chrome isn't my bag but I'd make an exception with that one. Is it numbers matching?

I think they look horrible. Wouldn't own one

I'm not sure actually; I've never checked. I'll have a look tonight when I get home. I think I will put it up in the EE. It's just been sitting in my safe for about 8 years. I was going to mount it into some sort of display, but it never came together.

I have a No4 British chromed.
I also have a No4 action chromed and the kit to complete the gun. It has the magazine, trigger guard, bands and butt plate.

The numbers all match - barrel, bolt, and nose cap
