I had posted this one some years ago, but now its 100 years old!-marked '12/17' on the butt stock.

Truly a beautiful rifle!!
I hope I not only live to see 100 years, but look that good at the same time! Congratulations on a very nice rifle.

Nice rifle lithgow, how does it shoot? I've never shot a WW1 Lithgow but my '41 sprays rounds everywhere at 50 yards.
Alex W-I haven't shot that rifle-did shoot my 1916 RSAF Enfield a couple of years back, but that's had a long, hard life with much refitting done to it!
Congratulations, on owning such a fine rifle and thanks for showing.

Looks factory fresh!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

I own two No.4 Mk. 1s that are both tack-drivers (Savage and a Long Branch). Very roughly speaking, how are the No.1 Mk.III's as shooters?
PRE-it should be noted that the Australian sniper No1 Mk III* HT rifles made in 1944/45 were mostly built on 1915-18 actions and remained the army's sniper rifle into the Vietnam war (though it has to be said that they also initially took WW2 dated rations there as well!).
I overlooked the 100th 'birthdays' of a couple of my other weapons last year as I don't know the exact month for them.
Finnish ex Imperial Sestroryetsk m/91, DWM LP08 pistol and Webley MkVI revolver, all 1917.
