    Exclamation Madsen M47 - Columbia Model 58 - Rarest of the Rare!

    I have two of these, both in mint+ condition, with bayonets and scabbards
    The rare factor is that the bayonets' serial numbers each match their respective accompanying rifle.
    FURTHER amazing rarity is the two rifles'/bayonets' serial numbers ARE SEQUENTIAL!

    Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

    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 ...

    They all came that way. Everyone I know with one, except me, has the matching bayonet.

    But... how many rifles/bayonets came as a pair with a sequentially numbered sibling?!?
