    Is this the best source for finding out about unit markings on 1907 bayonets or does anyone know of lists of markings elsewhere, perhaps online, please? Thanks.

    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 ...

    F10, the book/pamphlet you need is: Instructions For Armourers (with amendments 1916) : APPENDIX IX - Marking of Arms - List III , as for online see link below, I use this as a guide plus other info I've gathered over the years.

    forum member mike1967 has the above and has agreed to copy it at some point, he can't scan it as he would damage it so was going to take pictures.

    I did find a copy of "The Broad Arrow" listed on Amazon for sale and it was a good job that I was sitting down when I looked at the price of over £800. Thanks for the alternative bigduke6.

    I checked on ABE Books F10 and was a bit surprised at what they are worth now I got a new hard cover No 211 of 300 signed by Ian @3 years ago and paid no where near that price they are asking now. 800 smackers is rather obscene to be asking such a figure.

    I've never managed to find out which College or School this 1907 bayonet marking relates to; I know that the first 3 letters stand for Officer Training Corps but I don't know any more about it. The second row of letters look like "MQM" and there could be something following, perhaps an "R" but I'm not sure. Below appears to be the number "10".
