Hi Gents,
Very pleased the forum is now back up and running.
So to celebrate .... here is a photo of a lovely No2 Lee-Speed I just picked up yesterday.
Cheerio,
Roy

Thanks Sarg,
No safely on this example, shotgun or otherwise but lovely original condition, so no complaints from me.
Cheerio,
Roy

Oh that is lovely! I lust after one of these but sadly they really are getting beyond my price range now in Australia. So I will just dream of owning one and hoping I come across one in a deceased estate auction and no one sees it and knows what it's really worth haha.

This looks to be a very handsome rifle, Roy. Congratulations. Do you plan to show us some close-ups and tell us a little about it? I always look forward to your professional looking presentations. Does it bear a retailer's name?
Best regards.

That is a great looking rifle. Love the Lee Speeds. Just about the ultimate stalking rifle.

Thanks Gents,
Really appreciate your comments. I don't really 'need' another No2 but this one was hard to let go. It doesn't have a retailers name on it but a careful inspection does show it to be all original, right down to the engraved ten round magazine. Aside from a normal wear it looks to be in very find condition indeed with a good bore.
I will plan to do a write up on it but I'm a little behind with my web project. Although I have thrown up a couple of photo on my web project and tried to add a link here but for some reason can't get it to work!
I suspect this is a nice early example as it has a lower serial number than a 1904 dated example I have, so probably turn of the century, give or take a year.
More to come!
Cheerio,
Roy

Hi Sarg,
Thanks for that mate.
Yes sure will Sarg. I will put it on my to-do list and sort you out some front-sight pics.
Cheers,
Roy
