**BOER WAR ERA** British WD BSA Co South African Military Contract Long Lee Enfield .303 Calibre Rifle With Sling, 1888 Pattern Mark II, Type II, Lee Metford Bayonet & Scabbard**UK 2011 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED**Sn 21681:8 - 21681:8 The Lee-Enfield .303 was introduced into the British Army in 1895 and in Canada the year following. It replaced the Lee-Metford, which had been the standard issue firearm since 1889. The latter was a magazine-fed repeating rifle, but it fired cartridges using black powder which emitted smoke when fired that gave away the rifleman's position. In 1891, the British first produced cordite a propellant that burned cleanly without emitting smoke. It also generated more heat, however, which wore out the Lee-Metford's rifling system of seven shallow grooves. A new rifling system was developed at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, consisting of five deep grooves that could withstand the intense heat generated by the cordite. The result was the .303 Lee-Enfield rifle. The new rifle saw service in the Boer wars and beyond. This is an excellent .303 calibre Lee Enfield Long Lee bolt action rifle made by BSA Co for a South African Union military contract. It is crisply stamped on the right side of the strap BSA Co (these contract rifles were not marked with dates, King’s Crown and model designation as found on British service rifles).

**MINT**1939 Winter War & WW2 Era 1936 Dated Russian DP-28, 7.62x 54R Calibre Light Machine Gun With Finland Capture ‘SA’ Marked Pan Magazine With VKT (Finnish state rifle factory "Valtion Kivääritehdas") Inspection Mark & Bi-Pod**UK 2011 DEACTIVATION** - 21681:4 The Russian Degtyaryov DP-28 machine gun (Degtyaryov's infantry machine gun) is a light machine gun firing the 7.62×54mmR cartridge that was used primarily by the Soviet Union starting in 1928. The DP had a reputation as an effective light support weapon. It was nicknamed the "Record player" (proigryvatel) by Red Army troops because the disc-shaped pan magazine resembled a gramophone record and its top cover revolved while the weapon was fired. After WW2 the Chinese Communists used the DP in the Korean War and copied the DPM as the Type 53. A number of the RP-46 variant of the DP have been spotted in present day Somalia, in use with militant forces and also among rebel forces in the 2011 Libyan uprising to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi. The Winter War was a war between the Soviet Union and Finland. It began with a Soviet invasion of Finland on 30 November 1939, three months after the outbreak of World War II, and ended three and a half months later with the Moscow Peace Treaty on 13 March 1940. This is a near mint 1936 dated Russian DP-28. It has all original wood and metal work which retains its original finish. The wood shoulder stock has its original integral oil container with steel screw top lid and integral applicator brush.
