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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

It seems I have caused this tread to devolve on a tangent.

I have always used Dubbin on my boots and leather sheaths but the 07 scabbards I have been told not to use anything as I was applying Balistol.
As far as this thread goes, in a world that is full of calamity and often sadness some interjection of humor can sometimes have a positive affect on a person who is perhaps having a blue day.

Nice blades I am slowly building up my 07 but it gets costly especially hookies at present up to $2,500.oo for Lithgows.........

We just had a gunshow here and I could have had you a hook quillon for less...reasonable actually. Also a nice 1903 pattern with an 1888 repurposed blade...also reasonable...wish I'd known.

When I was a kid it was called Bag Balm. Probably would do fine on leather.
