Bid on a few things at the Switzers Auction a couple weeks ago. I bid online from the comfort of my couch using Proxibid. Was somewhat miffed when I got my items in the mail but also pleasantly surprised.
A 1916 SMLE Lee Enfield III* With all matching numbers (bolt, receiver, barrel and nosecap). The rear sight appears to be a replacement. Along with some old assorted ammo.
1950's dated MkVII .303 "C" Broadarrow marked (Headstamps inside the box are all 1945)
A "C" broadarrow marked bandolier of 50 Canadian .303 rounds of assorted dates (1943, 45, and 51). Also hidden amongst the rounds were 5 WW1 Dummy rounds on a correct stripper clip (bottom clip in above picture).
These dummy rounds are Canadian and dated 1914.
Some more detailed pictures of the Lee Enfield (Don't know much about these rifles so feel free to chime in with what you know)
Also behind the rear sight it is marked "HV" then directly below that "SC". There is a fair amount of cosmoline underneath the handguards and the brass disk on the stock is not marked.
I bid on what I thought was 70 rounds of .303 British but when I unpackaged everything it turned out to be 20 rounds of .303 and 50 rounds of 30-30 Winchester....apparently someone at Switzers can't read...
Hope you enjoy and have a good weekend!
