Bindi2 pointed out the metal misses a part, but also the stock on the left side has a half circular hole. The cut for the front portion of the stock was also not professionally done. I therefore had suspected it might got damaged when it got re-issued, the heavier damaged front handguard portion got removed and therefore then put aside since no parts for repair were available and survived this way in a rather untouched condition. But all just wild guess and thoughts.

Magazine is simply removed, you could easily insert one. The swinging floorplate locks identically to the original magazine.

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.

Absolutely superb Georg, wonderful addition to your collection, like Jim I would love to see that one up close.

I wouldn't touch or change a thing, just clean and oil!

That's a very rare museum worthy piece....

You can see that close as well, but given the new COVID variant UK icon

developed I think we should maybe not look into this that early. Then you can touch it as well, even if you just said you wouldn't touch it

Georg
Are the German icon

markings from WW1 or WW2? One of the Territorial battalions of the Leicester Reg was at Dunkirk in WW2.
