I understand.

I'm a big fan of Lee Enfields and Webley revolvers. Don't know when or where it started. Except that when I was a kid I enjoyed many a movie and novel set during the height of the English Empire or the past world wars. Zulu, The Four Feathers, Gunga Din, Sherlock Holmes, The Eagle Has Landed, The Battle of Britian, Breaker Morant, Guns of Navarone, Waterloo, Horatio Hornblower, etc.

Somehow Lee Enfields, Martini Henrys, Webleys, and more always ended up playing a role in the stories. Even the melodramatic movie Eye of the Needle had the heroine shoot the bad guy played by Donald Sutherland with a Webley Mk VI. My first Lee Enfield was a Lithgow SMLE MK III* (mfd. 1918). It's been years and I still own the Lithgow. I have absolutely no intention of letting it go.

I even own a couple "sporterized" Lee Enfields that I'm rather found of. Yes they were done in somebody's workshop or basement, but they have a charm.
