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.

i think it's a German icon

1st world war sawback butcher blade bayonet, is it a 14.5" blade ? or it may be a Martini Henry P1875 Sawback Bayonet

Hi SVT,thanks for the quick reply.I think the blade is around 18 inches.Il do some research on both your sugestions
cheers

Thanks SVT you were spot on with the Martini Henry 1875 sawback sword, it appears its a Mk1 trials version that was never adopted for general army issue
cheers
