    Used to have one. SN was 11816. Exactly the same markings. Beech wood and MkI forend with relief for mag cutoff. Scope number was 1423 IIRC at this time of night.

    Mine did not have the T stamp or TR, too early for that. As yours has staked pad screws we learned from Peter's books that it was in UKicon service till after WWII when that was done. Probably the T stamp was added at the same time.

    Several others of these have been shown and discussed here over the years, all the same but for the variations in "T" stamps. Can't recall if any had the "TR" stamps, but those seem to have been added to a few early rifles in some cases.

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    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.
