    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.

    Hmm. Yes, noticed earlier this evening whilst doing a 'trawl'. Let's hope all potential customers check out this forum if they're seriously thinking about bidding.

  6. Thank You to Roger Payne For This Useful Post:

    Oddly enough I stuck my head through the door of this shop on recent visit to St Mere Eglise and its full to bursting with all manner of "original" and "genuine" 101st and 82nd Airborne stuff too.

    I was there earlier this year too. A mixture of battlefield pick-ups and downright Sexton Blakes, of which the telescope is one.

    They do say "excellent reproduction" in huge red letter - is that an edit from the original ?
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    The listing has been changed - it had 'ORIGINAL' in big red letters to start with.
    It would be nice to think that the forum had something to do with that.......

    I like how the repro bracket has been roughed up with a file to give it a more "authentic" look, to say nothing of the utterly convincing scope number and leetelle broad arrow stamp!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    And nice of them to number the bracket to the scope for that extra inauthentic feel - of and marking it mk3 when it clearly isn't.
