Thought I would try to wake up this section with this stunning 42 Colt that is in near new condition. Came with WW1 holster and two mags, one WW2 CR marked and a two tone L marked WW1 contract.

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.

That's a nice one to wake up to. We can only be grateful that a few survived in such exceptional condition. It couldn't have looked much better when it left Colt a few days past 70 years ago.

I will pass on the "how does she shoot?".

**mpd1978** · 07-26-2012 05:09 PM

and I'll spare you the 'how much is it worth".
The parkerizing still has the sparkling bits seen only on very new guns. Whats amazing is that the pistol had NO oil inside or out, it was completely dry. It must have sat in a completly dry area untouched for many years.

Looks good, Mike. I'll look forward to seeing that one, too. I'm just glad it ended up with someone who appreciates it and won't turn it into a shooter.

Here are a few more pics of the pistol in outside light

Hate to say it , but even I prob'ly would not try her out .
Very nice does not do it justice . If it were mine I'd have to sell it to get rid of the temptation.
