Hi Gents,

I'm sorting out some close-up images now, so will post shortly.

The Las Vegas Antique Arms show didn't disappoint. It was my second time there and for the second time I came home with a No1 Lee-Speed. I walked past this cased example as the dealer was not there and along with another rifle both cases were closed, so I felt it best not to tamper. A few steps past this one, something told me to go back, so I did and this time I read the label. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read it was a .303 Lee-Speed. Needless to say the dealer and I eventually met up and we struck a deal.

Assuming the case and rifle are original to one another then the initials and address embossed on the the front have been identified (by a friend) as William Harold S Peters, born 1867. The 1901 census has him at this address. He was a lawyer and with no connection to the military, one would presume this was a private purchase (or gift) for his sporting interests.

Some pics in a moment.

Cheerio,

Roy
