A Day Late And A Dollar Short!

**tlvaughn** · 08-16-2011 06:09 PM

Not a dollar short, but a day late.

While visiting my usual Enfield sites last night, I came across a 1941 Long Branch for sale, but it was too late to call. I called first thing this morning only to find out it sold yesterday and the check was in the mail.

The pictures were not great, but I have purchased from this dealer in the past and have never been disappointed. Is there a forum member out there that would like to confess to buying the 1941 LB with sling and bayonet for..............$175.00

Congratulations and good find to whomever jumped on it a day before I did. Post pictures when it arrives!!

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.

Thats the way it usually works with me, specially the dollar short part.

Typical. I get told that 1941 Long Branches are very uncommon, so I buy one, and now they are coming out of the woodwork. Similar thing happened with my NZ icon

-marked Long branch - hadn't seen one before, managed to find a nice example, and now I trip over them at every gun forum I go to...sheesh! Then again, one did recently sell on a certain online gun auction website for $961 (someone has more money than sense..).

When the dealer told me it was already sold, my first thought was, "I bet it was that damn spinecracker!"

I'm not that lucky lol. Besides, you've beaten me to the punch before lol.

Did the seller post photos? It would be interesting to see them.
