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 resemble that comment!

The modest WW II collection so far:

* 1944 byf (Oberndorf) Mauser K98k
* 1942 Husqvarna "Swedish Mauser"
* 1942 (ROF Maltby) Lee-Enfield No 4 Mk2

Next on the list:

* Mosin Nagant 1891/30
* Type 38 Arisaka
* M1 Garand
* MAS-36
* M1891 Carcano

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

Need French MAS 36...and leads appreciated.

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.

Nice collection

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