Inland without the Month only Year

**imntxs554** · 10-19-2014 10:53 PM

I was in a couple of other forum and came across a Topic from CMP icon

about some Inlands they have seeen a 44 and a 45 without the Month and there are pics of tbem. The 45 picture was not there no more, but ive been searching for a month on mine '45 Inland and cant seem to find a month. Now did they marked the month very light and besides the name and year are there but very worn, but all i see is the 45, Thanks

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.

I think it's just a worn die that skipped...

Probably because the die was started a bit more to the left side on some. The last digit of the date is right under the ''M'' in motors where it should be. My 1-44 Inland has the ''1'' so lightly impressed till you have to hold it just so in good light to see it.

Barrels with no date at all are pretty common, but I wasn't aware of those with only a year.

Won't hurt anything as far as I know. It's still all there as they marked it. Hasn't been altered.

I would like to see the whole barrel and hear some provenance. From what I can see I don't even think this barrel is an original USGI barrel. Stamping is very ragged with letters misaligned, and it looks like it was done last month - maybe it was. Possibly a left coast knock-off? JMHO, ChipS
