    Is 7 Groove Case M3 unique

    I have added to my collection a WWII blade marked "Case M3" with a 7 groove grip. Cole's example shows knife with 8 grooves and I've seen several listings online referring to a sellers "rare 7 groove Case M3". So my question: Is the 7 groove rare and somewhat unique? Or is it just a variation that adds no more value to the knife?
    Thanks.

    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've seen examples with 7, 8...don't believe just because the sellers say they're rare means it's so. Look on line and see, count how many you find with both...
