PRISTINE ENFIELD NO 5 MK1 JUNGLE CARBINE for sale in Texas

$1,000.00

I have a truly exceptional NO 5 MK 1 ROF (F) .303 "Jungle Ccarbine" from Fazkerley Roval Ordnance in Liverpool, England, dated August 1945. It is so clean that I doubt it had ever been issued. This makes sense, given what transpired in August 1945: the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed by the unconditional surrender of the Empire of Japan.

There was no reason to ship it from England to the South Pacific. The wood, finish, fittings, and mechanical functioning are in close to new condition. There are no alterations or import/export marks. All serial numbers match, and all appropriate proof markings are sharp, as is the bore.

I recall looking at the Klien's Sporting Goods ads back in the early 1960's and lusting after on of these.Found this jewel in a pawn shop in 1970.
