SMITH & WESSON MARK I LIGHT RIFLE

SMITH & WESSON MARK I LIGHT RIFLE. SN 993. Cal. 9 MM. This is the first variation of the Smith & Wesson light rifle that was adopted by the British for the second World War. It saw use in very limited quantities and eventually most specimens were destroyed as the project was considered a failure. Being that the majority were destroyed, specimens in any condition are hard to obtain. NOT CONSIDERED SAFE TO FIRE. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: The rifle retains better than 95% of its orig blue with just a slight bit of corrosion directly in front of the bolt handle. The composite stock is also in excellent condition with just a couple of light scuff marks. The sling is also in nearly brand new condition. This is a fine example of a rare and exotic carbine. 4-33937 BK22 (3,000-5,000)
