Good example of a British BSA SMLE dated 1918 with a SN W88901. Medal parts have applied wartime dark finish, with typical wartime wear. The hard wood is good and shows typical dings, and abrasions! A very rugged bolt action, with a 25" barrel and a good bore with sharp rifling, and fine pits down in the grooves , so common with military rifles from WWI that used corrosive ammo! this gun had seen service in WWI and then sent to Australia and had marked on top of the receiver D, broad arrow, D for Department of Defense. and was used in a naval training school. The brass disc in the butt-stock is plain, no writing.I hope you like my wide selection of unusual guns, knives and gun parts.
