    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Looks good, I have one a little later in the year. Serial # match under firing pin plate?

    Correct M1911A1 shipped around May 1943, I can guess Germanicon proofs on it as this pistol as been sold commercially, I can't see the other mark front of serial number, looks like a number.
    Is the serial number match slide & frame? ( under the firing pin plate)

    follow up to this thread

    I just picked up a colt 1911a1 s/n 9178XX but it does not have any initials or an armory stamp on it anywhere like the ones posted above. The slide and frame match serial numbers. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

    I have a 1943 Colt no. 848611. The inspector stamp on mine is a W.B. in a box. Hope this helps. Nice looking 1943, looks close to mine.
