Ah well, your loss is my gain. I was a bit skeptical about the finish myself but its not varnish, its Tru-Oil, and it doesnt fog or hold fingerprints, at least not so far; just a nice gloss. Not exactly a representation of what it once was, but nice to look at 
I went to the show with the express hope of landing a full wood Enfield. I only saw three that day, including this one - and one was not for sale, just brought for inspection by an expert. The other was in far worse shape, with a less stellar bore, asking $500.

Thanks Paul, they sure look nice together. Ithaca...I've been searching for a nice one so hopefully sometime soon!

Another Canadian comes home...
This was actually an April purchase....but it got held up waiting for U.S. paperwork south of the 49th. (Clay at Prophet says I now hold the record for longest wait).
1916 Ross Mk III, acquired from a fellow in the Chicago area (thanks Bill). The woodwork has its share of bruises, but the bore is pristine.
The wait for its arrival gave me a chance to get an appropriate leather sling from Denners, and the proper front sight hood and screws (thanks Warren).
Here it is posed with my Ross Mk II 5*. The Mk III is kind of a clunky homely thing compared to the Mk II but I'm very pleased to have them both.

Here are my two Saturday gunshow finds, Swede Mauser wood and metal, and a transit case

Absolutely beautiful rifles, definitely need a range report!
