    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.

    Hi ...

    Here's a link to a Q&A thread that may help you get more answers and improve the quality of the ones you do get.

    What can you tell me about my rifle? (click here)

    The Mk1* (with the star) sounds like a Canadianicon Long Branch No.4. On the surface from what you've provided as info, your rifle also sounds like it was FTR'd (Factory Thorugh Repair) at Fazakerley, but pics and more information on rifle markings etc., would be helpful.

    Regards,
    Badger
