German WW1 captured SMLE photograph

[Warrior1354]

I recently purchased this photograph, and I thought everybody here would enjoy it. Not very often you come across photographs of captured British SMLEs.

Artillery troops.

It is very interesting in that one can make out the screw going through the front end of the stock. This clearly identifies the SMLE as being one of those with the Long Range Volley Sights, an earlier feature which was dropped in WWI.

Cross reference, I have an Imperial German capture stamped SMLE in my collection. Some time ago I posted pictures of it here -> https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/imperial-german-captured-enfield-made-no-1-mk-iii-rifle.44856/
