Sn 22528 - 22528 The famous British Parker-Hale Limited began manufacturing high quality precision shooting accessories in the heart of the gun-making quarter in the year 1880. The founder, A.G. Parker, was a well-known rifleman of the 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment and recognised the need for the supply of shooting aids to his fellow shooters. By 1914 the company's small manufacturing plant was well established and it was not long before the vigorous Ministry of Munitions of those days began calling for training equipment, which was needed almost as desperately as the munitions. The Parkerifling process, coupled with the Hiscock-Parker magazine, enabled service weapons to be converted to .22 calibre for teaching recruits to shoot, and demand was such that the Parker-Hale factory was soon working to full capacity. This is an original World War 1 dated British WD Officer's MK VI .455 calibre Service Revolver officially Parker Hale Ltd Converted To .22 Calibre Training Pistol.

**RARE**BOER WAR ERA**BOER CAPTURED CARVED STOCK RP. VAN. STADEN**1897 British WD Enfield MK I* Lee Metford .303 Calibre Rifle With Bolt Cover, Magazine Cut Off, Long Range Volley Sights Regiment Marked ‘2.D.F’ To The 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers. - 22426:86 The Lee-Metford rifle is a bolt action British Army service rifle, combining James Paris Lee's rear-locking bolt system and ten-round magazine with a seven groove rifled barrel designed by William Ellis Metford. It replaced the Martini-Henry rifle in 1888, following nine years of development and trials and remained in service until replaced by the similar Lee-Enfield. The Lee Metford MK 1* was approved on 9th January 1892 (see page 381 of the Lee Enfield Story by Skennerton). The Lee Metford rifle was used extensively by British Forces during the Boer wars. The 2nd battalion was in South Africa when war was declared, and when Sir George White landed at Durban was stationed at Glencoe, along with the 1st Leicestershire Regiment, 1st King's Royal Rifle Corps, 18th Hussars, and the 13th, 67th, and 69th Batteries RFA, under General Penn-Symons. The 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers arrived in time to be also sent to Glencoe, completing an infantry brigade before the battle on 20th October 1899 (see 1st Leicestershire Regiment and 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers). The 2nd Dublins took a very important share in the fighting. Their losses were approximately 2 officers and 8 men killed, and 3 officers and 50 men wounded. With the rest of the troops the 2nd Dublins retreated to Ladysmith. They were present in the action of Lombard's Kop on 30th October 1899 (see 1st Liverpool Regiment), but were much split up, three companies acting as escort to artillery, one on outpost, etc. They did not suffer many casualties. On the same evening the battalion was "hurriedly entrained" and sent down the line to occupy Fort Wylie and protect the great bridge over the Tugela, but the advancing tide of Boer invasion soon lapped round them and they had to move still farther south. Three sections were in the unfortunate armoured train which was derailed on 15th November 1899. Before General Buller made his first advance the 1st Battalion had arrived in Natal as part of the Irish Brigade. In the Colenso despatch, list of troops engaged, the 1st Battalion Dublin Fusiliers is mentioned, but the casualties of the regiment are debited to the 2nd Battalion. The fact seems to be that three companies of the 1st Battalion were added to the 2nd, and thus really both fought at Colenso and the other engagements prior to the relief of Ladysmith. The work of Hart's brigade in Natal is sketched under the 1st Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, and that of the relief force generally under the 2nd Queen's. At Colenso the Irish Brigade got into a hot place, coming under a very heavy fire before extending; and after their extension they pushed into a peninsula formed by a loop of the river, where they were subjected to severe fire from the front and both flanks, but all stood the severe trial splendidly. The casualties of the regiment were heavy, approximately 2 officers and 50 men killed, 3 officers and 176 men wounded. The three companies of the 1st Battalion were the chief sufferers. Of these losses their share was 1 officer and 31 men killed, and 1 officer and 133 men wounded. At Venter's Spruit on 20th January the 2nd Dublins and the three companies of the 1st Battalion were in General Hart's force. Their casualties were approximately 1 officer and 5 men killed, and 1 officer and 30 men wounded. In the fourteen days' fighting between 13th and 27th February Hart's men were at first near the rail-head, and were brought down to Colenso village on the 20th. On the 23rd Hart was ordered to attack the main Boer position. A short account of this action is given under the Inniskilling Fusiliers, who led in the assault, but the Connaught Rangers and Dublins also pushed in close and lost most severely. Colonel Sitwell was among the killed. The regiment was still to take part in another memorable assault before the close of the relief operations, being transferred to the command of General Barton for the last great effort on the 27th, when Barton attacked and carried the eastern portion of Pieter's Hill. In addition to the Dublins his troops that day were the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Royal Irish Fusiliers. The assault reflected credit on every one taking part in it, and gained the praise of General Buller. In the fourteen days' fighting the Dublins' losses were approximately 1 officer and 20 men killed, and 6 officers and over 100 men wounded. Eight officers and 7 non-commissioned officers and men of the 2nd Battalion were mentioned in General Buller's despatch of 30th March 1900, 5 of the latter being recommended for the distinguished conduct medal. The battalion was specially selected to march into Ladysmith at the head of the relieving force. It was common practice for Boers who captured British rifles during battle to carve their names and often scenic or religious imagery into the wood stocks of their weapons. This is an excellent British Army Enfield made Mark I* Lee Metford Rifle with stock disc marked to the 2nd Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers captured or recovered from a battlefield by a Boer Kommando who then carved his name within a foliate etched panel into the shoulder stock ‘RP. Van. Staden’. The rifle is in great condition with all original woodwork with early finger grooves in the fore stock as used in the Boer Wars. It also has steel butt plate with trap, magazine cut off, flip up ladder sight, long range volley sights, ramp block & blade fore sight, bayonet bar, correct bolt cover and sling swivels fitted with period leather sling. The grip strap under the bolt is impressed 'Enfield I*' with Queen’s Crown VR (Victoria Regina). The rifle is serial number 5464A and has other un-matching numbers. The stock is fitted with brass disc Regiment marked ‘2 D.F’ (2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers together with date ‘12’92 (December 1892) and weapon number ‘450’. The initials ‘M.P’ have also been period hand scratched into the disc (unknown). The weapon cocks & dry fires crisply & the magazine can be removed. The magazine is attached to the rifle by its original retaining chain. The price for this excellent Lee Metford captured by Boer Kommandos during the Boer war worthy of further research regarding the Boer’s name includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery.

The film's main character is a fictionalized version of sniper Vasily Zaytsev, a Hero of the Soviet Union during World War II. It includes a snipers' duel between Zaytsev and a Wehrmacht sniper school director, Major Erwin König). A contemporary image of WW2 Russian Soldiers in the field wearing arctic warfare camouflage, one carrying 91/30 sniper rifle the same as ours is illustrated in the images. The rifle has undamaged metal work with even patina and all original wood furniture which has light service wear consistent with age and use.
