    Box#6

    Interesting box which was painted a bright blue at one point. The Interior is missing the label and one of the wooden restraining portions is cracked in two.

    One sticker clearly shows the rifle serial number as T32629.

    Another sticker on the lid is painted over and shows the same rifle serial number and also shows a sight serial number- very hard to discern what it is- I think the serial number is 3 digits but might be 4. I think I can make out '260'.

    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.

    T Box#1

    A somewhat sad box with interesting barely visible markings and a curious 'modifcation' to the interior label.

    T box#2 Bare wood top-

    Really nice box with a replacement unpainted lid.

    The leather attachments which connect the chest to the lid are present but were not connected when the lid was replaced.

    The number stenciled onto the front and back seem to read- 5885.

    T Box#3 Interarm USAicon

    Paint applied by Interarm has been greatly damaged by the heat.

    Interior of the chest is very nice despite the damage to the paint.

    I'd be interested in the background of Interarm and their sales of 4T's

    T Box#4 Plain Green box.

    Quaint job of mending one of the carry handles and some numbers stenciled onto the box ends but not easily read- you could probably convince yourself that it was the serial number for the T you have which needs a chest.

    Hi

    Just saw your post on the the transit cases that you have for sale.

    I’ve been looking at your pictures and wanted to know what you were asking for the cases.

    I have a 1945 BSA Shirley M47c
    I received without a case

    Let me know
    I’m very interested

    Regards

    Todd Eckert

    I sent you a P.M. some days ago - did you get it? I, too, would like to purchase a No. 15 chest.

    As I remember it, all of the cases had one issue or another . They were not perfect . I was at the auction and bid on them as well . Be sure if you buy any that you can return them at the sellers cost . or have the seller refund you a discount on the sale price .

    When I imported many No.4Mk.1T and L42A1 rifles back in the late 90's and early 2000's, there were lots of issues with the chests that had been protecting the old girls for decades. I just repaired the chests in need before I resold them. I still have some spare replacement wood pieces that I made. I even had some of the sheet metal corners for the L42 chests made by a local sheet metal guy that were perfect. No big deal.
