    Markings and butt plate.....on a Mk.1

    Years ago I stripped down an old junker Mk.1 and recently found the barreled action and now the wood that was in "the shed" (tm). Going to find the few remaining parts I need and put it back together. I do hope the stock markings are what I think they are. What say you from down under???
    The butt stock still had the original trapless steel butt plate.

    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.

    Agree...the style and location is consistent with Australian Light Horse markings that have shown up from time to time.
