    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.

    One of the nicer ones I've seen. Hope you got a good price?

    I noticed that half of the pictures that I posted didn't show up. If you want to see the remaining pics go here : Argentine model 1927 pictures by IrwinPedersen - Photobucket
    I paid $800 for it. The barrel is whistle clean and looks new. The magazine looks almost new ( very very slight rub marks).

    Very hard to find with a matching magazine!

    Condition is also top notch.

    Have you checked under the grip panels for an importer's mark? At the time most of these pistols entered the US, some import folk were being quite sneaky with the required markings.

    I pulled the grips and field stripped the gun. No import marks anywhere...including the magazine I even checked with a magnifying glass. Keith where did you find the info on the year of manufacture?

    I believe the info is in a sticky on the The 1911 forum by bulletin or something like that (another forum not milsurps) top of page. I just google 1911forum and go to the 1911 manufactures and the usgi blah blah blah and its identified as a sticky at the top (Argentinaicon blah blah de blah) hope that helps.

    1911 forum.com

    It may be somewhere on milsurps but I have zero knowledge on that.

    Clawson includes pretty much all of the production and shipping dates for the Argentineicon Colts and M1927s in his book on the Government Models. Some good info on the Ballister Rigauds and Ballister Molinas as well.

    That pistol must have an interesting history at aleast as regards as how it snuck into the US! Have never heard of any pre-'68 imports, but things happen...Could have been a "good will" swap at some time. It also might help explain it's unusually good condition.

    The only thing I see suspect are the marks around the slide stop pin as if someone tried to punch it out at one time? Or it could just be some pitting?
