This item is sold purely as an antique and curio and must be considered to be unsafe to fire. The rifle is typical of the locally produced copies and mimics the original Enfield produced rifle down to the finest detail. Upon close inspection it will be noted that all of the inspectors' marks, letters and numerals are incorrectly written with numerous letters and numbers reversed or inverted. |
