Thank you the site you posted helps, looks like it is a type 2 english. Wonder if I can figure out if it was english or canadian issue. With my main interest in US military I have just about no research material to look through for the oddballs I tend to gather. |

Thanks for the web sites all, a great deal of help. I collect mostly U.S. military with the odd ball non American when one catches my fancy. However my research material really shows the US leaning so when one like this enfield snyder comes home it is google fu time, and I am really not very good at it, IE lots of stupid questions posted. Thanks agin for any and all help. help |

Few of what we consider distinctively British arms were actually invented by the British. Just for the sake of clarity regarding the Lee Enfield rifle, the action was designed by James Paris Lee, who was born in Britain (Scotland) to British parents, emigrated to Canada when he was five years old. Grew up and learned his trade as a watchmaker from his father. He moved to Wisconsin, USA when he was 27, but never became a US Citizen. I would postulate that the Lee Enfield is the quintessential British arm and was invented by a British person. |

i think back in the days we all recall as "good old days" citizenship was somewhat assumed by ones assumption of an adopted country - not so much like invading it - but more so by applying and being allowed in , then establishing ones presence by the efforts of labor and complying with the laws and [in our case] paying the taxes as well as assimilating into the society , i do not know if he applied for citizenship formally or was assumed to be such , it does not matter in the discussion at hand as there are few government adopted firearms that have no influence from a foreign national , in some cases they were out-and-out plegeralistict copys of someone else's designs or patents , some re-compensated monetary and some not , i am glad he did what he did when he did it , |
