    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.

    Hello Cedric,
    May I ask if you sure the rifle is 1943 dated? With a five digit 'H' prefix serial starting with a '3' like yours I'd expect it to be a 1944 rifle. Just an observation.

    Thank you for the info Simon!
    71 is stamped on the left side of the receiver, though... Does it conflict with your data?

    Roger : it's the date stamped on the left side as I can see on the pics shown to me...

    Cedric,
    Many thanks. If it is indeed a 1943 rifle the serial number is quite unusual. Many thanks for clarifying. Any chance of a pic of the markings?

    It certainly looks genuine enough, although I'm not sure if it may have been re-serialled. Can't see well enough. Does have the look of a genuine rifle though.

    Many thanks.
