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.

The rifle appears arsenal overhauled, refinished, and re-assembled from mixed parts. I value the rifle in the $800-$1000 range.

For what it's worth.

Surprise! The rifle in question is now just over $2000.00. Gosh, I headed home to buff up my 2 Mk 1's.

From what I have seen the CMP icon

auctions bring a higher price than any other
auction or sale because it is definitely from the US army. It is up to the
individual to decide how much of a premium that is worth if any.

Very little to me.

A touch siily. A real and complete Mk1 is real and complete by its components. To pay such a high premium for a CMP icon

peice is not wise. Will that premium hold up say 3 months later on Gunbroker.com? I doubt it. Mind you this thing is going off at double its worth.
