Default Bisley Unit Champions Enfield Pin?

Hi,

I came across this interesting little Lee Enfield pin.

I'm told it's a Bisley unit champions pin for the Leston Trophy?

It's nicely marked on the reverse, and it appears this pin was definitely worn. It appears the sling is carefully soldered on to the rifle. It's nice made.

Does anyone have some more information on this strange and perhaps rare pin?

Thanks!
-Steve

Thanks Mark!

I just found the reference in your link:

"The Letson Trophy is awarded to the Regular Force 12-competitor rifle team with the highest aggregate score. Winning team members will wear the Letson rifle pin on their service dress uniform for the remainder of their careers."

Cheers,
-Steve
