Found an old ad on the net. It was from American Rifleman in 1960.

Some stuff you just can't make up. Great story True. But I could probably make this one up pretty easily.

Who cares I would pay 10 times the value of the rifle my father gave me when I was 12 to have it in my hands. (I have it and would defend it to my death) I am glad you are reunited.

One of the best gun stories I have ever heard. Congratulations! Also, I am a big fan of the Enfield rifles and the .303 cal. Have fun at the range.
