    Thanks for the replies guys, I just love this revolver and there dosn't appear to be much of a appreciation or love for this little gun. I've been lucky enough to find a 1930 Mk1 # 489 and 1931 dated #A1153 and I've got 3 other later Enfield models. Eventually I would like to add a Albion example also.

    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.

    I like them, too. I have one of these made in 1934 witht the correct wood grips and stamped R.A.F. It is a great shooter with the 170 grain copper clad military rounds and dead on with some 200 grain lead bullets reloaded by a friend. It has a number of small notches along the top of one of the grips that are not random and are quite old. Wonder what the story may be? I also have a Webbely with the SPD on the backstrap which looks brand new. It is also a good shooter.

    Britplumber, well why aren't you making a beeline for Warminster. We have a nice collection here with a display case full of them....., all different, and cutaways too.

    Can we have a picture of your viet cong Pistol Paul. Is it a home made or a 'home made' las in Indonesian home made Brownings that were re-marked Inglis's. If it's a true home made, I bet it won't 'poker' (see No2 book for details)

    I remember them Peter, next time you invite us down i'll get some photos. Do I rember corectly that you have some early examples, possibly toolroom examples? I've been offerd a 1929 example, do you think this could be a pre production model?

    Yes, we've got a few early examples including the very last pre production and the first production. That's pretty early by my reckoning! 1929, pretty damn early I'd say!

    Hi Peter,

    I've bought it, its a 1929, low serial number, but its a Mk1* conversion, but dosn't appear to be marked as such (Will get a better look when I receive it next week). Could it be a official conversion? A trial? is there anyway I can tell?

    Cheers, Chris.

    I have one dated 1934 and it is not converted. Still has the wooden grips too.
