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.

I guess I don't understand the pix business

Delete the previous post!!!

Without a photo we are all puzzled.
However, in Ball: "Mauser Military Rifles of the World" or "Mauser Military Rifle markings" by Terence Lapin you will find most genuine Mauser crests and markings.
If your example is in neither of these books, then it is either super-rare or dubious!

OK, Maybe I finally got a pic transfer

It's Spanish Air Force, 1940s. Most likely made in Oviedo.

Apropos of nothing: Ever notice how many of the "what is it?" posts turn out to be Spanish Mausers? This has become my default guess even before reading the post or looking at images.

Peace, out.
