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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Looks like a very nice pistol. Congratulations!

Thank you Scott. Most especially thank you for providing a website that allows a collector like me to look at known originals. That has been a tremendous help.

A very good friend helped me to locate this one. I could trace the purchase back to a shop in Orleans, Mass., called Goose Hummuck. That part of the Cape Cod area is a supposed home to military retirees.

Have a pretty good idea it was originally shipped to Sewalls Point VA in 1939. After that, I do not have a clue.

Very sharp. The grips are wood, correct?

**dbarn** · 06-29-2012 08:42 PM

Thank you. Yes, the grips are wood with 28 diamonds between the holes.

Thanks guys. The LGS that handled the transfer jokingly said it was previously owned by James Bond. lol

Glad to be the next caretaker on this one. Tough to find, lot's of competition, and expensive!

Must have been my lucky day. Even the assembler's mark is 7's.
