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.

I can honestly say that I have never seen those specific marks before, who was the maker of the barrel?

Hi Dan,
The barrel was made by Winchester dated 10-18. He has the eagleheads, ordnance bomb and a T on it.

I've seen the triangular mark on other M1917 Winchester barrels.

I don't think the C in a triangle in a circle is a Canadian icon

mark. Why would the Canadians mark the barrel under the wood where the mark can't been seen?

**Chuckindenver** · 06-21-2009 10:34 PM

notice they were stamped after finish.
