    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.

    If you supply pics there are forumers who have vast experience and will give what info they can to you, Skennertons books are good, Strattons as well look up BDLicon supplies Brian Dickicon he has a good selection as well, if you have trouble up loading pics send them to Badger and he will assist you but just follow the guide and its pretty easy even for a computer clown like myself. Cheers

    This is a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1* manufactured in 1942 by 'Longbranch' in Canadaicon, it is the 126,061th rifle of this type that they made.

    The number 7114 means nothing to me and without a 'context' (ie whereabouts on the rifle the markings are) it will be very difficult to make a guess.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    I wonder if the "7114" is a NZicon rack number?
