It's hard for me to part with anything Canadian, at this point in the collecting game. Who knows, interests and circumstances change, so someday it might leave.

To be honest, I've been to a lot of museums, and I've never seen a No1Mk3*, Canadian or otherwise, in better shape. I'm sure there must be, just this one is pretty good, and the fact that it got marked into the Canadian system, makes it interesting to myself.
 
Definitely one of the 2 or 3 nicest No1 MkIII's I've ever seen, truly amazing condition. The only one I've handled that was even close was a 1940 marked BSA that was apparently un-issued, the third one was in a museum in the UK.
 
My 1917 Enfield SMLE has C-broad arrow markings on the receiver ring, Australian refurbishing markings, and grey Parkerized finish like on Lithgow rifles. It appears that mine is not the only one with signs of both Canadian and Australian service.
