Whitworth Greenland hunting rifle

probably new for your lee speed collectors a Whitworth Rifle Company , Manchester made lee enfield hunting rifle in 8x58R Danish











"cal 8x58RD (Danish Krag M/89) made in England on the basis of a british SMLE which was changed in appearance to a hunting rifle and chamered to the old danish caliber 8x58RD. It is not known how many where converted, but an estimate of 500 pcs should be quite right. The rifles where marketed on Greenland around 1960-1970. The rifle is very good and desireable, with a bright barrel, and beautiful appearance."
