Good one! I used to go to that place back then, and you're not
far off. The big store down near the "J" Street bridge in Victoria used to have
sales of Lee Enfields stacked in 45 gallon barrels in the late 60's.
Prices were well under 20 bucks ea. back then.
Likely North Africa.

You know Smellie, my dad used to refer to them as Spandaus. Said it was the worst thing to hear when you were infantry going in to the attack.
I remember, as a kid, my Uncle John Gardner, telling my Dad what those MG42's sounded like when you were on the receiving end. He made a sound to imitate them. He was a big, robust man with a faint British accent. He told my Dad that it would, "Make any man want to $h!t his pants!"
