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.

Just a guess, but "2 W.R." may be 2nd Battalion The Welsh Regiment.

The "P.W." made me think of "Powys" but there's probably no connection at all, and there was no connection to the Prince of Wales in 1919.

WELL was the abbreviation for the Welch Regt. My dads uncle Alf Jones was in 2 Welsh from Mons til the end of the war.

Restocked it today....just need to find the short upper handguard.

**browningautorifle** · 11-10-2014 12:03 AM

I have one here I can send you but it's missing the two forward bits that lie on each side of the sight...But it could be sorted out, perhaps...

**Anzac15** · 11-10-2014 12:12 AM

Jim, that would be great.

As to the disc.....possibly 2nd Worchestershire Regiment?

**browningautorifle** · 11-10-2014 09:26 AM

PM me an address and I'll go dig it out for you.

**Anzac15** · 11-24-2014 11:57 PM

One of our forum members really came through with a part I needed....short top handguard, I lightly sanded it then stained it to match. Turned out pretty good. Many thanks!

**browningautorifle** · 11-25-2014 12:41 AM

Almost passable...

I wondered about 2nd Worcesters. My paternal grandfather's battalion; kia 1/11/16 on The Somme.
