    Finally was able to finish the installation this evening. Had two rivets I just couldn't get in but went about it a little differently and got them in in a few minutes. So helmet shell, liner rings and all but 6 of the rivets are original. Leather liner and wool/felt ring and chin strap are new. I think it came out pretty good. Plan on wearing it when sweaty to get an "aged" look to it eventually.

    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.
