    A hint for new guys entering the collecting field. Try to keep track of selling price ranges for legit items. I say price range, because there is not set price on anything. However, keep this in mind. When you see a legit item that sells for $100 and up, be suspicious when some guy has an endless supply that is on an auction board at a bargain price.

    If the sling in the original post were legit, I would have locked in and purchased every one he has at the $40.00 asking price. So would about 100 other collectors.

    Usually the price tells it all, but not always. Unfortunately we also have a dishonest dealer who will take a fake item and sell it for the high price of originals. Then, if you do not know what you are looking at, your will be screwed.

    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 ...
