I would still suggest a military district number but for the A on it's side. Is there anything else stamped on the top of action?

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.

Just the NSW and the sold out of service meeting broad arrows and a crown stamp on the left.

Oh and the A on it's side is not infront onf the barred out number. It is below it just above the U3XXXX serial - which is apparently correct for the year of manufacture. So anyone have any ideas what that signifies?

This thread cries out for photos - -

You mentioned paint, what colour is it and where is it on the rifle?

**newcastle** · 03-31-2012 03:40 PM

There is some cream colored paint around the heel of the buttstock and on the butt plate and in between the buttplate and stock.no indication what it was.

find. http://radix.net/~bbrown/brit_bayo.html this guy has documented a lot of the stamp markings.. Newcastle P.M. sent.

**Peter Laidler** · 06-26-2012 04:08 AM

Could this '[cream' paint be faded yellow or off white? That might give you some idea of its past.........

**A square 10** · 06-27-2012 11:37 AM

since it obviously served in new south wales im convinced its the MD # , i have a 1915 BSA with similar markings served in victoria and has a Z beneath that number ,

did we take notice of the volleys and cutoff ? how about the rear sight ? if this has those bits intact i would snap it up ,
