    These were saved, but what "trash" was thrown away?? The inserts for these chests perhaps, and...?

    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 can only say what I'd be willing to pay for one, FWIW. I'd be comfortable somewhere between $60.00 to $40.00 depending on condition and any inserts. I reason they're big and heavy and what are you going to do with them other then a novelty. I'm a cheap bustard so could be way off but that's my buyer's prospective.

    warpig i agree with you i cheep too thats why i like to trade things. plus unless some one was going to pick them up i not sure what shipping would be. i kinda feel that if all inserts were present an in perfect shape then they would comand a better price. as for being big thank god i have a 60 by 60 garage.
