    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.

    Here are my July and August purchases:

    My Underwood M1icon:



    A nice matching 41 dated bayonet that I got of Jean. Been looking for one of these for a while. Very pleased! Thansk to Steve for the tip!



    And now, for the odd piece. My gamble from Germanyicon.

    This, rear sight cover, I believe is original. Despite not wearing the usual k98k marking on the inside. To the best of the knowledge some were unmarked. The leather is brittle, and I have oiled it heavily to remoisturize it a bit.





    Now for the odd part. Someone at somepoint thought it would be a good idea to add some markings to this piece,
    to add some flavour.



    The markings are very crisp, and it doesnt feel like they have been there for very long.

    Whenever I see these kind fo markings I simply go; Why!

    Oh well, for the money I spent on it, Im still pleased. It will look great sitting on a byf44

    Great looking Rifle you have there. Is it easy to find milsurps in Italia?

    A very early "S/42G" (1935 Date/code) produced K98kicon; a rifle produced when Germany was attempting to hide it's rearmanent while still under the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty. As with almost all S/42G K98k's found today, it went through a Mauser/Oberndorf factory reconditioning in late 1940/early 1941. See Law's book about "Factory Reconditioned K98k's" on page 271 (first ed.)

    After 5 years of hard service (which if you think about it included the 1936 reoccupation of the Rhineland, the 1938 annexation of Austriaicon, the 1938 annexation of the Sudentland, the 1939 invasion of Poland and the 1940 invasion of Franceicon) these 1935 produced rifles were returned to the Mauser Oberndorf factory in late 1940 and early '41.

    This very interesting rifle is ALL Matching except for an unmarked band spring and unmarked floorplate screws. It is a vet capture/bringback rifle and is just as it was after another 5 years of use and then brought back by the returning vet.

    Regards,
    Badger

    Great find Badger!!! This is the first "g" marked one I've come across. Is the cleaning rod serial numbered?

    Agreed, that is a gem Badger! Those early K98icon's are works of art, beautifully made.


    Here is my August purchase and finished project. I am very satisfied how it turned out.
    I bought a sporterized Byf43 K98 off of CGN. Great bore, which is what really mattered to me, with a forcematched bolt and mismatched stock. Everything else matches. Here it is as I got it:



    I bought a replacement stock from a guy in Norwayicon (he included all the missing hardware I needed as well, great deal). I swapped the stock and added a repro base adaptor with an original Zf41 and original mount. Here it is with the new stock and the Zf41 added as well:

    That's a lovely piece and a very nice refurbish.
