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.

You beat me to it, the oiler is rare and worth almost as much as the rifle.

It's marked with a WD broad arrow (New Zealand icon

), a horizontal B over 16 over H. It's 3 3/4" long. I'm not yet really ready to sellit, mainly because I don't know what it's worth yet, but keep in touch, you never know.

I wasn't enquiring because I was interested in purchasing it just in seeing a picture of the complete oiler. I have never seen these early oilers in the flesh only pictures of them.

I'd offer at least 2 oilers for the rifle!
