I am currently researching the above.
Does anyone have any information, details, photographs or know of the location of any of the above weapons outside of those that can be found in Skennerton?
Many thanks

For the research of historic British service rifles you could contact the National Firearms centre at the Royal Armouries at Leeds as they hold the pattern room collection. If it is not there it does not exist.

Thank you, currently being investigated. Have also requested a visit as not open to the general public, but have not yet had any response. I would be like a kiddie in a sweetie shop but better.

Hence the original question. Investigating this as a potential investment purchase for a client so trying to ascertain as much information as possible. Identification issues outstanding. Caveat Emptor.

A friend of a friend, who was an RFD, spent a considerable amount of time and money investing in firearms, namely early semi automatic pistols. Some of his examples of commercially produced, pre WW1 handguns were exquisite.
The stroke of a legislators pen wiped that out. I couldn't think of anything more risky in the UK to put your money into!

I agree, bonkers idea.....in terms of the UK at any rate...especially in current climate.
Buy, shoot and enjoy (while you still can)
