10FM68 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It's certainly interesting, not least for its inclusion of the 'No2' which was the first of the .22 rimfire Lee Enfields, predating the much better known 'No8' by decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil.c Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Any idea what sort of time period this would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10FM68 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Hmm! I just went to my bookshelf to find my copy of the Profile Publication on the Lee Enfield to find it has disappeared. So I can't follow up with fact. But... the subject is the No1 and No2, not the No3 or the later Nos4-8. So, I would think it was pre-war, possibly even late WWI (after the discontinuation of the cut-off on the No1) or 1920s. But, it is difficult to say without looking at it. Silly question, perhaps, but how old does it look? Style, type of paper, wear etc?

phil.c Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 It certainly has age to it. Bit of browning to edges and creases. It was actually in a WW2 US technical manual book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
