While all previous models of Turkish Mausers and many of the so-called M1938s were actually made in Europe, K.Kale marked rifles were manufactured in Turkey. The first domestic-made Turkish Mauser-type rifles, they were built in Kirikkale Tufek Fabrikast, a government-owned “Military Factory.” During World War II for the first time it had to rely on local armouries to produce military firearms. Thousands of Gew.98s were parted out and converted to the M1938 configuration. These were for the most part marked ATF, for Ankara Tufek Fabrikast (Ankara Rifle Factory). Between 1940 and 1946, the K.Kale factory manufactured around a quarter-million rifle receivers. Top production years were 1942 (53,000 rifles) and 1944 (49,000 rifles). Additional markings atop the receiver ring are a star and crescent moon, with the letter abbreviations T.C. (Turkiye Cumhuriyeti, or Republic of Turkey); AS FA (Askari Fabrika, or Military Factory); ANKARA, for the city where the K.Kale factory is located.

**RARE** Pre 1918 Winchester 1879 Patent (Mod 1885) ‘Winder Musket’ .22 Long Round Calibre Falling Block Single Shot U.S. Military Training Rifle. D 1500**UK ONLY 2024 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED**D 1500 - D 1500 The Winder musket was a .22 calibre military training rifle used by the U.S Army in the early 20th Century. The weapon was the brainchild of Colonel C. B. Winder, who advocated marksmanship training with a rifle of similar size and weight to a service rifle but chambered in .22 rim fire, which was both economical and suitable for indoor ranges. The Winder Musket was based on the Winchester Model 1885 single shot rifle. Although it was never officially referred to as the Winder musket, the weapon was informally named in honour of Colonel Winder, and has since generally been referred to as the Winder musket. The Winder Musket was superseded by the 1922 Model bolt-action training rifle. Winder Musket serial number records are sketchy having several gaps in the record log. Winders made in 1918 and 1919 were given the designation ‘Model 87’. This is an excellent original example of the rare Winder Musket. It has no designation marks but does have crisp patent and manufacturer detail stamped on the top steel action tang ‘Pat Oct 7th 79 (1879) Winchester Trade Mark’ and serial number ‘102269’ on the lower action tang. It has a 28” round steel barrel (43 3/4” overall), an adjustable rear target sight and block & blade fore sight. The barrel is stamped with calibre detail ’22 Long R’. It has a steel butt plate, fore end block, barrel bands and a single sling swivel. The metal retains its original blue finish. The Musket has excellent all original undamaged wood work which has just minor bumps and bruises consistent with age and service use. It has an external hammer. The rifle’s original UK deactivation certificate was lost at some point in its life and a new UK only deactivation certificate was issued in 2024. The musket’s falling block cocking and firing action works crisply. The price for this rare piece includes deactivation certificate & UK delivery. D 1500 £795.00 |

SOLD SOLD (LAY-AWAY 09/12) WD 1894 Dated, Long Lee Enfield MK II Rifle By LSA Co (London Small Arms Company), 1910 Converted To Charger Loading With Long Range Volley Sights, Magazine Cut Off, Cleaning Rod & Sling**2024 UK/EU DEACTIVATION**D 1480 - D 1480 The Long Lee-Enfield .303 was introduced into the British Army in the late 1800’s. 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 Long Lee-Enfield rifle. The new rifle saw service in the Boer wars and beyond. This .303 calibre Long Lee MK II is crisply stamped on the right side of the strap 'LSA Co Ld' (London Small Arms Co Ltd) Crown VR' (Victoria Regina) and '1894' date. In 1910 this rifle was converted to charger loading and is correctly stamped on the left side of the strap 'LSA Co 1910 C.C.L.E’. The breech is stamped with number '9262 and has other un-matching numbers. The metal work has WD and ordnance inspection marks. It has stepped blade fore sight, flip up rear peep sight, long range volley sights, ladder rear sight, bayonet bar, sling swivels fitted with original leather sling, magazine cut off and charger loading bridge. The wood work is excellent & all original. The rifle has its original brass butt plate with trap. Deactivated to UK/EU specification in 2024 the rifle’s bolt moves, its trigger moves and the magazine can be removed. The price includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. D 1480 £0.00 |
