    1923 lithgow smle

    How much would a 1923 Lithgowicon be worth considering there was only a few thousand produced that year?

    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 depends on how intact it is, what matching components it has and how much you are expecting, I would be interested myself if I had the available information and pic's.

    Has matching bolt, barrel & receiver. With mag cut off. Rifling is worn but still visible. Nice light colour furniture with one ding in the butt stock & three little ones close together on the forestock but overall nothing major. I'm not interested in asking an unreasonable amount for it, just don't want to sell myself short considering the amount of rifles produced that year. Was going to wait for the military arms show in Altona next month to get an idea of what it's worth then advertise it.
    I'll try & work out how to post some pics.
