Well yes it does not have all SA parts properly dated and has been refurbished along its journey but I am happy none the less.

The born on date puts it in June of 1942.

The barrel is dated 6-43.

Here is the cartouche on the stock ....

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.

Very nice markings, and these are a bit harder to find here in Canada icon

. Maybe you'd consider a pic expose' for the rest?

**CODFan** · 05-28-2014 06:47 AM

Will do, probably over the weekend. The markings are the reason I picked this one up.

I need to fully disassemble and it needs to be lubricated.

I am certain there will be a couple of Breda parts in there.

It is interesting how these were maintained by the Danes.

My other M1 icon

is a properly dated SA, except for the VAR Barrel and replacement stock.

**browningautorifle** · 05-28-2014 09:31 AM

Yes, the Danish icon

re-builds are prominent here in Canada icon

. I do have a LL with all the correct parts...but then I corralled it back in '76...

Took it apart, lubed and forgot to take pictures of the drawing #s. The follower is a #12 (no surprise), but the parts are SA marked so I am happy.

Bolts D28287-12SA
Hammer C46008-2SA
Trigger Housing D28290-05SA
Op rod D35382-9SA

The barrel is dated June of 1943 and is as bright as can be.

Note: Stock is numbered to receiver (Danish icon

Is it just me or why can't I expand these pics? Looks like a nice rifle though. I love to examine the detail on these...

Fixed? User error!

I always wanted one with some very good cartouches on it. That stock looks great. One day.

**HOOKED ON HISTORY** · 06-16-2014 07:59 PM

Very nice. I have one on order and hope it looks just like yours. Used but not as a boat paddle or tent stake driver.
Lovley. Nice pictures as well.

**browningautorifle** · 06-16-2014 07:59 PM

Yup, it looks fine. Very nice.
