    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Your pic is a thumbnail and awful small... do you have a larger one?

    A full list of Germanicon codes and most WaA's can be referenced in the following Milsurps Knowledge Libraryicon entry:

    "Das Heereswaffenamt" (Detailed Listing of German WaA Markings and Codes)

    Wouldn't they be English Commercial Proof Marks? I don't know a whole lot about them but it looks like GBP.

    Why not translate the Germanicon and see if it tells you anything? I assume rauchlosem stands for smokeless from rauchen, the German to smoke.
