A First World War-production Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) No. 1 Mk III rifle manufactured by Lithgow Small Arms Factory in 1917. This is one of an estimated 100,000 rifles made by Lithgow SAF between 1913 and 1918, with the pre-1926 Lithgow crest as well as the 'Lithgow SHT. LE 1917' stamped on the receiver beneath the bolt handle.
The rifle is in fair condition, but retains many of its original markings. The '3MD' and 'CMF 3MD' stamp present on the butt stock and receiver indicate that the rifle was at some point issued to the 3rd Military District of the Citizen Military Forces in Victoria. It mostly remains in original condition, and would suit a collector.
