What a lovely rifle. You are cornering the Lee Speed market in America!
You may find William Evans are able to tell you who the original purchaser was for this rifle. They have extensive records in their shop. They may charge a small fee for this of course. Does the rifle have a secondary serial number that William Evans may have applied?

Hi Alan,
Just to update you; I contacted William Evans and they have confirmed the records for this rifle still survive - it was completed on the 11th January 1904 and was originally sold the same year to Mr E.J. Hudson. I'm now in contact with them to purchase copies of the relevant records.
Thanks for the heads up on that Alan, I'm excited to now have the opportunity to add some history to this wonderful rifle.
Cheers, Roy.
