    Charlie,
    I also belive the Saginaw bolts are by far the darkest. The one original I have is a original finish bavarian prison gaurd non CMPicon and the bolt may have been grit blastedprior to finishing, it is blued, but the top looks almost parkerized. Just my observation on my carbine. The other two Saginaw are highly polished barvaians from the CMP. They are correct flip sight guns as bought with all the fancy digits stamped all over them. Not sure of originality but not original finish.
    I think the SP original finsh bolts I have had are by far the bluest of the bolts I have seen.
    Just my humble opinions
    Dave

    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.
