    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 ...

    Nice find in excellent condition. An A block Mauser byf 44 P38 would have been made in November or December 1944 and would be considered late war built.
    Please see this manufacturing chart, http://www.p38forum.com/P38ProductionDates.pdf
    byf's started 1944 with the O block. I have a byf 44 T block myself which was made in April
    of 1944. It came with one mag and I have located another but am still on the hunt for a matching holster to complete my rig. Here is my thread from a few months back. - Bill

    Probably would have been issued with a soft shell holster.

    Not necessarily. The hard shell holsters were made till the end of the war.
    I've got 44 u. 45 dated hard shells.

    Would love to see the markings on your hardshell. 1944 hardshells are pretty rare.
