Lithgow No. I Mk III*

Here are some pics of my latest acquisition. It's a 1942 dated Lithgow No. I Mk III*. Numbers match on the magazine, and nosecap. Bolt is mismatched. It's been through a FTR at some point in its life. There is also a crack repair on the stock just above the magazine on the bolt side, which was probably done during the FTR. This is my third SMLE.... I think I'm addicted... It's a cry for help, really...
