    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. Brian Dick ...

    I'm not familiar with Yugoslavian belts but it appears to be the same set up used by the Germans. If so, there is a billet sewn on the inside of the belt that has a double row of holes that allow the buckle to adjust for size, correct?

    More than likely a civilian police "Sam Browne" belt.

    Yep, hard to tell what it really is. I still think it is civilian or at most, a possible police belt of some sort.

    You were indeed correct. It did turn out to be a Sam Browne belt. I just found a few pictures that ID'ed it for the most-part. I appreciate the help.
