Comment: An incredibly rare Australian issue Pattern 14 No.3 T sniper rifle. Otherwise known as the P14 sniper rifle, this is the first production Australian sniper rifle and served as the designated sniper rifle in the Australian armed forces in WW2 until the arrival of the Lithgow SMLE HT sniper rifle in late 1944. Forgotten Weapons specifies this as the best sniper rifle of WW1, however from available records it is unlikely this was used by the Australian armed forces during WW1. This rifle is described by Ian Skennerton as Lithgow's first production .303 sniper rifle - See YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwJU1bATFm0&t=153s The optics on the AOC scope are very clear and the rifle is in very good condition with all of the required markings. The holy grail of collector's pieces. Text or call for photos.
