My Lee Speed and other animals.
16/06/12 02:49 AM

Hi guys,

I haven't posted on NE for ages but I thought I'd show you what I've got, in the hope that you experts can tell me a little more about them.

Firstly, this is my Lee Speed:

Its a No 2 Pattern (I think), without the barrel top rib. It has the 'For Cordite Only' stamp above the breech. The bolt dust cover is marked 'York House, 15 Regent Street, London' which was the address of the Junior Army & Navy Store, who I assume sold it from new. There appears to be a name engraved on the butt trap cover, but there is some wear so its not entirely clear. It appears to say 'COL. C. AVATE'. The serial number is E644. Can anyone suggest when this might have been made?
