Description
- A Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) No. 1 Mk. III manufactured by Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) Enfield in 1929 and pushed into Israeli service after the Second World War. The right-hand side of the receiver beneath the bolt bears the royal cypher of King George V, with “G.R Enfield 1929 Sht LE III” written beneath it.
- While in British service, this rifle was fitted with copper wire to strengthen the stock for use when firing rifle grenades while using a No. 1 Mk. 1 Cup Discharger. It was also issued in Israel some time after the Second World War, with the top of the receiver bearing a Hebrew Tzadik “צ” and a Star of David.
