Very nice and thanks for sharing. Just learned a lot myself from the posts concerning this model. The markings and stampings alone are an education in themselves. Hope your right concerning the movie spurring collector interest in milsurps. Been following prices on 98ks lately like my father's 98k and am surprised to see how much a matching unmolested example brings today. Hope you enjoy yours.
Just in time for Dunkirk - Lee-Enfield SMLE MKIII*

So I went back to the shop and found a P37 Rifle Case for $20. I'm assuming this came in with my rifle or the original seller brought it in when he went to pick up his check. I guess these sell on ebay for $75 to $125, so at $20, I did OK.
And I even found a leather Mauser sling in the pocket of this case. I think it went with a Mauser rifle that the seller of my Enfield also brought it (it was gone when I went in today).
As seen hanging over my bookcase in the Den.

The Jovino imports I handled back in the 90s were redolent of coconut; apparently some type of coconut oil was used to lubricate/preserve them. Like shooting a Mounds bar.

On YouTube, there's a BBC (?) movie about the Battle of the Somme. MANY of the .303 rifles are really No. 4's modded to take a No. 1 bayonet. I guess the No. 1 MK III is now uncommon even in the UK.
If you watch the movies I've posted about here, Safari and, Flame Over India, you'll see both No. 1 and No. 4 rifles, although in the case of the Indian one, set in 1905, the No. 4 was incorrect. I'm sure the Indian Army "extras" just carried the rifles they were issued when the film was made, in 1960.

When did Slazengers start making golf balls? Maybe I should ask Auric Goldfinger.
When Dunkirk comes around to Carson City, I want to see if there are any Lanchester Mk. 1 or Mk. 1* submachneguns in the movie.
