Imitation rifle, made of metal and wood, with simulated loading and firing mechanism, working bolt and removable magazine.

The Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III (SMLE Mk III) was adopted by the British Army in 1907 and became the standard rifle during the First and Second World Wars. Its ten-round magazine and rapid-action bolt action made it one of the most effective weapons of the conflict. This model was often used in conjunction with bayonets and hand grenades, forming the primary equipment of British soldiers on the battlefield.

Mass production of the SMLE Mk III spanned numerous factories in the United Kingdom, demonstrating its strategic importance for decades. Its reliability, accuracy, and ease of maintenance made it highly prized in military arsenals, and its legacy lives on among collectors.

This rifle has had a notable presence in cinema, in films such as Gallipoli (1981), War Horse (2011) and A Bridge Too Far (1977), all set against the backdrop of the world wars. It also appears in the series Peaky Blinders, where its presence evokes the lingering shadow of the conflict in the post-war period.

In the world of video games, the SMLE Mk III appears as an iconic weapon in titles such as Battlefield 1, Call of Duty: World at War and Enlisted, alongside other legendary weapons such as the Sten II, the PPSH 41 or the Walther P38, all related to World War II.

A historical, robust and authentic piece: essential to complete your collection of reproduction weapons with a legend of the 20th century.
