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 don't know much about these but that sounds like a really good deal to me.

I see the stock is really smooth, are they normally that smooth?

I do hope you are not kidding me!

Because that means you are losing a potential profit of about 150-200% by not selling that rifle (guestimates from Hermann Historica past auction figures here in Mauserland - euros, of course!)
Naturally, when it gets up to the 1K level, collectors get mighty picky about perfect numbering and stamps etc. But what we have seen of your rifle looks PDG.

Like the OP, I'm more of an Enfield guy...but I had a good look at a 1915 Gew 98 yesterday.

Have to say it was pretty interesting!!

Maybe revising my list for Santa.

If I could find one as nice as this, I'd definitley go for one!
