Lee Speed Dust Cover Engraving
#229581 - 02/05/13 06:23 AM

Can a couple folks post detailed pictures of their engraved dust covers. I would like to know if the makers name like "Holland And Holland" "Rigby""Army and Navy" is engraved in this location. Thanks, Ron

On most of them it is, I only have 3 or 4 with the dust covers, & only 2 with me, one has "Army & Navy" the other just lots of engraving & makers name on the barrel, but I have seen 10's of these & most have the makers name on the dust cover .

Having said that, most (nearly all) were made by BSA really !

I have two Lee Speed dust covers both are unadorned, no engraving no names.

Would be very unusually to have no engraving on a BSA/Lee Speed sporter !
Unless it was the very lowest grade, or not a sporter or not the factory dust cover ?

I have 3 Lee Speed rifles that are not sporters & their dust covers are not engraved

The dust cover on this Lee speed was removed by its previous Owner and long gone. It's the highest quality engraved ribbed Enfield in excellent condition. I've got a very good cover and want to engrave the border (no problem matching border). My engraver is asking if there was anything else engraved on the cover. A picture or description would be greatly appreciated. I can understand lower grades not being engraved. any help on this is greatly appreciated. Ron (Canada).
