This is an excellent example of the iconic SMLE from World War 1. This is the Mk III* variant which was introduced in late 1915, incorporating several changes such as the deletion of the magazine cut-off mechanism and the simplified rear sight design. The bolt of this deactivated rifle is able to move as it should and the magazine is removable.
This rifle, with its distinctive design and unmatched adaptability, stands as a testament to British ingenuity. Its iconic presence on battlefields and lasting impact on firearm development, have cemented its place in history as a symbol of military innovation.
