A lovely rifle, It looks like the No 1 Pattern as per the 1908 BSA catalogue. AS you have no doubt discovered, they have a great feel, very pointable, like a well made shotgun. I have a no 2 Pattern BSA with a shotgun style safety in similar condition to yours and a BSA No 4 Sporting carbine style Lee Speed that has the safety like yours but has a charger bridge fitted. It has seen plenty of work, but still has an excellent bore and shoots very well. The stories they could tell.
Was your rifle one of the four "club" Lee Speed .303 rifles used at the Naval Military Club/SASG SA Sporting Guns "Try Day"?
