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.

Those are cool, but remember that a blueprint is an early form of photocopy. So those are copies not originals. Still worth something. They would look good framed and hanging on someone’s wall.

Also note that they will fade if exposed to light for very long.

Back in the day when I would research old highway plans, they were green..100 yrs ago. Very likely authentic. Blue prints came later on.

They look more like training aids, posters that would be on the walls or easel during marksmanship training. Familiarization, care, maintenance and operation on the rifle.
