We'd quite like to add a M.L.E. to our collection of pre-1919 battle rifles, oomans. What ought we to be looking for when we inspect one? What sort of money does a good one, all matching, go for these days?

A 1915 No1 Mk3* BSA would be my choice however they are quite thin on the ground these days.

It is a Long Lee he is looking for.

Oh indeedy, though they were only ever called Long lees after the SMLE (smelly) was introduced: afore that they were simply, Rifle, Magazine, Lee Enfield, or MLE, hence Emily...

Have a look at Highwood Classic Arms website, always some very nice goodies on there......
