Thank you all for the flattering comments, gentlemen, but they are entirely undeserved!
To set the story straight, that marvelous rifle does indeed reside in my gun safe however it was in the possession of the previous owner when the article was written. Ian Skennerton is the author I believe.

Interestingly, my friend who owned that Lee Speed before me does not remember those photos being taken by Ian!

There are some additional photos of this fine rifle (on a memorable pink velour background!) on this forum somewhere if you do a search...
