Another What It Worth - Enfield No4 Mk2

Pblatzz, even funnier, I had one at a gun show many years ago, and some wise ass tried to tell me it was a hospital corps knife and offered to take it off my hands.

I once saw a pic of a field artillery unit in the Spanish American war and everyone had a rifleman's knife. Must have been quite popular at the time.
 
Well put John...but still....there are plenty around that have already been unwrapped.

I unwrapped both of mine since the packing was compromised then they opened it to check the serial number and stamp the importers mark. You will hear from both sides of the aisle about unwrapping them. My 2 cents follows
1.Who are you saving it for? The guy who buys it from your estate?
2. It's about as useful in that condition as a two by four wrapped in the same paper.
3.This is NOT a Colt Patterson or a Civil War Henry rifle.
4.This is NOT T.E. Lawrances Enfield
5. This rifle WILL NOT be carried through the surf on Juno Beach, it will not be dragged up the rocks at Monte Cassino or scoured by a sandstorm in North Africa.
It will be placed in the safe. You will take it to the range in a padded case, shoot it, put it back in the case, take it home, clean it, and put it back in the safe. The amount of wear will be minimal.
Now just waiting for the flames from the "collectors"
