**Garandrew** · 01-28-2011 07:46 PM

How many do we know of that are around today from the 1st block, unaltered, non rebuilt, never molested? I have 1...how many others have one, or an estimate from CC data?

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.

There is one in N.Z. I know exactly where it is, but due to circumstances at the moment, I do not have the money to buy it. The economic situation is starting to bite here. Mike.

I have data on many M1A1s in this serial number range.

**Garandrew** · 01-29-2011 09:31 AM

Chris...those are beauties...

**Newscotlander** · 01-29-2011 10:40 AM

They are all of the same carbine.

I have several unaltered specimens in the first production run.

**Hollywood** · 01-29-2011 10:49 AM

I have one, mid 550,000 range.

**Garandrew** · 01-29-2011 10:57 AM

I am positive mine was used in training, or more probably saw action...
In my opinion, the one shown by Chris, Brians several, Marcus's, mine in the 592,000 range, Hollywoods, ..are amongst the scarcest weapons in collections...I bet under 100 total

Chris, I saw the 2 tone, and I immediately thought SG, but the # is too low, so I thought it was 2 different...plus no SG upon a second look

Chris,

That is an early serial number. What is the number after the wheel on the butt plate?
