| Very nice! I only have one, a 1905 Con’d II*, but the original info on the Right side of the butt socket was mostly scrubbed when it was again converted to Sht’22 III. |

| Thanks for posting these, Terry. Every time I see one of these for sale, which is infrequently, I don't have the cash on hand. One day.... |

Here is a collage of my ConD IIs. To date no 1906 Enfield conversions are known to have occurred.  |
