I thought this made for a good light read & thought I'd pass it on: http://www.sightm1911.com/lib/history/telawrence.htm
I wonder where all those guns are?

what a dude. I don't recall seeing his SMLE in the IWM on any of my visits. Something to keep an eye open for on my next trip!

FWIW, from the IWM page...

This website has some cool info as well.

I wonder if it's a deact now?

Thanks for showing the picture of the Lawrence of Arabia Lee-Enfield. You also saved me for lots of money, since I no longer have to travel to London to view this historical rifle

In this case, I doubt it. It's probably the single most valuable Lee Enfield in existence and considered a national treasure by the UK MOD.

Definitely an era of different Englishmen that's for sure. I believe one of his motorcycles or the exact same type is in the Renolds Museum in Wetaskiwin Alberta.

Saw it at the IWM. Interested to see that it still had the volley sight.
