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.

So what's the story behind that? Just curious.

Nice bit of history.

Was given by friend who found in a loft 30 year's ago . All parts working with firing pin. Any idea of value.
Cheers Karl

I would guess at 150-200. That is just a guess with the hope that the bore is in good shape. Whoever purchases it is going to need to find a set of wood for it, barrel bands, screws and the front sight, etc. That will be a substantial investment to bring that gun back to original condition with it only having "restored" financial and collector value.
