The rifle is equipped with a canvas or webbing sling attached via brass-toned hardware. Visible markings include “W 60047” on the receiver, indicating Winchester manufacture, and “303 F19 USA SPR 5P1H RN R2” on the barrel, confirming the .303 caliber and potential US origin. This model was primarily manufactured in the United States for British service during World War I. The rifle appears complete.

Overall, the rifle appears to be in serviceable, used condition.
