    Didn't know they stamped wood especially for the No4 Mk1 T rifle!!

    So I thought I had seen many things, but this one still took me by surprise. I don't normally post to a live auction as many here may be interested, but I think that most here won't be interested in this "special" offering.

    Enjoy,

    Brian B

    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.

    It gave me quite a giggle - can't imagine it's wilful trickery in the sense that it's so ludicrous a real faker wouldn't bother. I do like the "they are stained to a really dark colour may be for camoflouge for sniper rifle." also.

    Marks are too deep to sand out and save the pieces. They are just fire wood now.

    SARCASM SWITCH ON... Oh, how fortunate is the lucky boy --- "... one set, but do have two." SARCASM SWITCH OFF

    I'm sure he does, and if his little trick works, he may just somehow, miraculously find more --- if he still has the bloody stamp set!
