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.

Thank you. Any idea of the possibilities that this ammo is still good to shoot?

According to the link provided, the box type I have is dated from 1934-1942. The link discusses only pistol and revolver cartridge boxes, but I’m going to assume the same box type and dates will apply to rifle cartridges as well. Thanks again.

In my opinion by just looking at condition in the pic...I'd think it will go bang. I used to pull bullets and change primers so the old primer didn't hang fire. I also found powders to be everything from crisp to almost liquid in condition. But this looks OK.

Boxes are all marked the same way, no matter what caliber... I think you're not looking at details in your pics and the box but it's your thing... 1946/1960 left side box is spot on?
