Ankara GEW88/05/35 - 8x57 (V262)
Several thousands of Gewehr 88's were given to Turkey for combat use during WWI. While these were slightly out of date even then, they were useable. By the 1930s, Turkey was beginning to rebuild its entire arsenal of Mausers to take the German "S" Patrone 7,9mm.
The gew88/05 in stock began to be converted, either by fitting new barrels, and otherwise leaving them as "Commission rifles" or rebuilding them completely to the M1903/30 style, with NO barrel Jacket, and the standard Turkish woodwork and bands. The new Barrels were proper .323 groove barrels.
This Rifle was refurbished at Ankara in 1940.

BSA SMLE III .303 - 1940 dated (V256)
The Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III was approved in January 1907. This short rifle superseded the Long Lee Enfield and featured a number of improvements over previous Marks in respect to simplified manufacture and battle efficiency.
The barrel is 25.2 inches (640mm) long and the rifling has 5 grooves and left-hand twist. Overall length is 44.5 inches (1130mm) and the rifle weight is 8lb 10oz (3.9kg). Magazine capacity is 10 rounds.
The MkIII was manufacture from 1907 to 1916 when the MkIII* was accepted for service. The Short Magazine Lee-Enfield Mk III* was approved as a wartime expediency in January 1916, and differs from the MkIII in the omission of the long-range dial and aperture sight, windage adjustment on the rear sight, magazine cut-off, lug on the firing pin collar, and swivel lugs at the front of the trigger guard. These swivel lugs were replaced by a small wire loop to secure a fabric action cover.
After the end of WWI, production reverted to the MkIII pattern until late 1940 when again due to war pressures production again switch again to the MkIII*.
This Rifle was manufactured at the BSA Small Heath plant in 1940 and it represents one of the last MkIII’s manufactured before the change to the MkIII*.

DWM 1904 - 8x57 (V249)
The Mauser–Vergueiro was a bolt-action rifle, designed in 1904 by José Alberto Vergueiro, an infantry officer of the Portuguese Army, and manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). It was developed from the Mauser 98 rifle with the introduction of a new bolt system derived from the Gewehr 1888 and Mannlicher–Schönauer. Outside Portugal, the weapon was also known as the Portuguese Mauser. It was originally chambered in the 6.5×58mm Vergueiro, a cartridge developed specially for it.
In 1939, the remaining Mauser–Vergueiro rifles were modified to chamber the new standard cartridge. The modified rifles were called Espingarda 8 mm m/1904-39.

Spanish Mauser M43 - 8x57 (V034)
The M43 would be produced at Fábrica de La Coruña from 1944 until 1958, with nearly half a million produced for the Army, Navy and Civil Guard. By the time this rifle was produced, Franco had taken control of Spain after the Spanish Civil War. Spain would adopt a policy of neutrality initially, changing to a "non-belligerent" stance once Germany took over France. Spain would send a group of volunteers to fight on the Eastern Front against the Soviets (the Blue Division). As the tides of the war would turn, Spain would return to their "neutral" stance.
This Rifle has a German laminated stock and K98k barrel.

Enfield LEI* .303 (R202)
COLLECTOR ONLY.
Drill Purpose (DP) Marked. DP cut through the chamber. This is a DP firearm only and not able to be fired. It is a Charger Loader Lee Enfield I*.
It retains the front & rear volley sights. Piling swivel. Mag cut off.
In 1907 the British adopted a new universal short rifle (the SMLE) that used charger (aka stripper) clips. Previous models of the Lee in British service had to be loaded one round at a time by hand. In order to make use of the hundreds of thousands of “Long Lee” (and Metford) rifles already manufactured, the British instituted a program to update them with charger guides. The began in 1908 and ran to 1914, although the majority were done in 1909 and 1910. In addition to removing the dust cover and fitting the charger guide, the front sight, rear sight, magazine, and volley sights were all updated. The new sights were windage-adjustable on both front and rear, and calibrated for Mk VI ammunition (although many were later updated again and re-re-calibrated for Mk VII ammunition).
These CLLE rifles would serve as second-line rifles in World War One and even through the end of World War Two.
