Pattern 14 rifle

#1 Post by pe4king »

I collected this little gem today, bought it cheap on line without as much a photo, but thought it would be worth a punt, to be honest I expected a right dog anyway it's a very early one ser ERA 11xxx all original as I far as I can tell, with the fat stock and volley sights so not been near Weedon, bore is good as well I have been after a nice one of these for years and too be honest this is the best one I have ever seen.

That is indeed a beauty. There seem to be few in that condition around. I could definitely be tempted by one.
