Very Nice start and a great idea.
I will have to get some pic's of these rifles, But I have a 1891 AMBERG Commission 88 and a 1918 ERFURT KAR98a. I do the Helmet, Rifle& Bayonet thing so I have the 1896 Baden Picklehaube and a M17 Stahlhelm and several bayonets to go with them .

would be great to see some pics of all the items especially the KAR98a as its one of the guns I would eventually like to get. I also try to pick up the accessories with the guns ie slings, holsters, bayonets etc. I would like to get an early Bayonet with the hooked quillon for the SMLE but their very expensive and hard to find in the right condition.

Your SMLE only shows one * on the action body markings not ***-the modifications to that model were for the pointy bullet Mk VII ammunition which would also have "HV" (high velocity) stamped on the right side of the butt stock wood.
It looks like it was marked Mk1* and then the ** was marked later after conversion and are faint by comparison. It's defo has been converted to Mk1*** pattern though. It may of course have IP markings on the left side of the wrist.

That's what has been done the picture quality isn't quite good enough to make out the additional **.
