    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Any Colt 1911A1 that is all correct and in excellent condition is highly collectible and sought after by collectors. In that serial number range it should still have the matching serial number behind the firing pin stop so make sure that is correct. Also, in excellent condition, one has to decide whether it has been refinished or not and also if all the parts are correct to the pistol. If you could show us some good close up detailed pictures maybe we could be of some help in these areas.

    By the time Lt. Drewry took over as Inspector of Ordnance for the Springfield Ordnance District, he was a Brigadier General.

    A picture is worth a thousand or more words, especially in a case like this.
