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.

The pommel and cross guard along with the scabbard were blued. The blade has been in the white on all examples I've ever seen.

Interesting bayonet in that it is a nice looking one but also one that doesn't appear to be the least bit collectible. The market is flooded with them and prices are typically lower than all but the British icon

spike bayonets. Makes it an interesting one to experiment with. Originals will have wood grips, refurbished ones plastic. I have one that someone cut the muzzle ring off of that I'm converting into a knife. Waiting to get the hole in the handle welded shut to polish it up.

The Bolo Bayonet was manufactured by Springfield Armory. all metal was polished bright. The information is on page 20 of the book "American Military Bayonets of the 20th Century by Gary M Cunningham" is a great book for information on US bayonets.

The 1941 Bolo Bayonet was made in Spain, probably by Toledo, not in the US by Springfield.
