"....Watson Brother Lee Speed rifle. It’s rough....."
"...spent a lot of time in India...."
"....Needs a front sight a horn fore end and some work on the tang safety......"

- and replies to his post:
".....You have never mentioned the condition of the bore...."
".....also is that the correct bolt fitted, I doubt it as these early SMLE actions have a special bolt & it appears to have a much early MLE/MLM bolt with bolt safety....."

So;
- no pictures since last October 2020 (as 46* would say: Come On Man!)
- No mention of bore condition or stock wood condition.
- possibly different bolt, so not all original
- missing front sight, missing forend tip, safety issue,
- India rifle...no mention of pitting/corrosion on metal

Don't know specifically about the Lee Speed or BSA Sporter, but .375 2 1/2 NE just are not that "rare" amongst British sporting rifles, I have a very nice William Evans Mannlicher in .375 2 1/2" that was not that hard to find.

$1750 ??? ........Good luck to Mr. Stix.....
