Emir Faisal gave this Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield, Mk III (r.), to T.E. Lawrence after it had been captured by the Turks at Gallipoli. It was engraved with “Part of our booty in the battles for the Dardanelles” before being presented to Faisal by Turkish leader Enver Pasha. Lawrence subsequently presented it to King George V. Lawrence (l.) who also had a penchant for Colt semi-automatics.
