    Indeed! I've always had an affinity for Lee-Enfield No 1 Mk3s, the flat nose reminds of the Commando comics I used to read as a kid.

    I think I know of a carcano that could be had..... Wouldn't be near the top of my own list though. A MAS or an arisaka I'd have in a heart beat. Garands are a wee bit expensive for me to consider, and Mosins don't really do it for me (had a nice one, sold it on pretty quick).

    Interesting you only have one semi on the list.

    I would add: (stuff I have actually seen in NZ, rather than just dreaming of)

    M1 carbine (a nice one)
    De Lisle (yeah yeah would have to be a copy I guess)
    G-41 or 43
    Ljungman
    SVT40
    StG44
    A few varieties of Sten.

    Reminds me, I need to get my C sorted asap

    Ja I was trying to focus on bolt-action rifles but then M1 Garand entered my stream of consciousness and I then arrived at the depressing reality that in terms of availability and affordability, there's a pretty big drop-off when one starts talking G43s and StG 44s.

    Like the presentation - what hooks did you use to display the helmets? Also, what are the documents that you have framed?

    Carcano folding bayonet is a favourite piece.
