Training rifle L.D.V. or Home Guard. After Operation Dynamo the evacuation at Dunkirk of British, French and Belgium soldiers, much of their equipment was lost including rifles so the Army had to be rearmed, at the same time a civilian based army was to be raised, and armed This was called the L.D.V., Local Defence Volunteers, later to become the Home Guard. As the Army was obviously to be armed first the L.D.V. or Home Guard had to make do with what ever was to hand but soon replica rifles were made so they at least had something to train with, to begin with most were very basic affairs but gradually began to look like the real thing. This one at lest looks close to a Lea-Enfield from a distance, it has a stylised bolt and trigger, a magazine that looks similar to a real one and a thick butt plat, the barrel is solid but has a shallow hole drilled in the end, it also is of a similar weight to the real thing. I have seen an identical one on the internet stamped with makers name William Durose from Tunstall, Staffordshire so I am going to assume that this one was made by the same company, the only markings I can find on the rifle are the numbers 170?
