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.

I have a No4MKI* from 1942 and one from 1943. Had they`re spike or knive bayonets?

Gunner,
The Savage made bayonets are all spikes.
Here are two types of Savage marks, found on the left side of the bayonets.

RJW,

British icon

soldiers of both wars were issued a clasp knife. The WWI version had a blade, tin opener and marlin spike. The spike was used as a hoof pick by mounted troops, and as a rope woking tool by others.

The WWII version had a blade, tin opener,marlin spike and screwdriver but was smaller than the WWI knife. During WWII several versions were made some omitting the marlin spike, late war ones adding a bottle opener to the can opener blade.

I'm shopping for a blade bayonet and I found one marked D-53. Does 53 represent 1953?

yes

and the D is actually E superimposed on F superimposed on D

representing Enfield manufacture

Why aren't bayonets sharp? They do MORE damage if they are not, PLUS you have a 9.5 pound rifle driving it into to someone!!! Sharp is irrelevant.

Nothing wrong with the spike but the No4MkIII otherwise known as the blacksmith's wonder, was just plain FUGLY, made up of welded together stampings but it was the cheapest to produce, 196,000 made by Lucas. It was declared obsolete on 2 May, 1946

Just for fun, the first order from the War dept after Pearl Harbor, was, wait for it............. Sharpen swords!

Probably a bunch of ex-cavalry types in the War dept.

Now that brings up something which has always puzzled me. WHY did we change the name of the War Department to the Department of Defense????
You don't fight a war by defending yourself, but rather by attacking the bad guys.

Or is this just the "kinder, gentler, gubmint?"
