Hi Gents,

Thanks so much for your warm welcome. As you can probably tell from my website, I'm passionate about all things with military history, especially weapons. Dealing and writing about the F-S knife has been my full time occupation for many years now but I'm an avid collector at heart, be it insignia, Webley self-loaders and now it seems Lee-Speeds.....!

I have a soft spot for the Enfield pattern of rifle having learned to shoot on No4's back as a teenager in the ACF (Army Cadet Force). I especially like the commercial versions, as the higher quality and finish really appeals to me. Besides they remind e of the type of rifle used on the Daktari TV series I used to watch as a kid (not sure if you had that show over here, or even know what I'm talking about).

Excited to have snagged this one, my good fortune as I was just checking out the Simpsons site minuets after it was listed and jumped on the phone pretty quick..

All the best, Roy.
