    JK1945, I have one exactly the same and just as clear and I know it has solid provenance. It came from a an ex RAF regiment chap who liberated it from stores in the south east. I've never heard of any repro's I think if they were out there the jungle drums would be alive!!

    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 ...

    I'll take two for $10.00, and I'll pay freight.

    Looks legit to me. I've seen quite a few of them. To think I got called a crook for selling them @ $75 each many years ago. Story of my life. Wish I had them all back!! The L42's too for that matter!!!
