    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.

    Mfgd. in 1942. The closest General Officers pistols to yours would be 565821 and 565844. A letter would be a good thing in my opinion.

    Garandrew, Tom D. corrected me on the Date of mfg. It looks like this 1903 Colt may have been mfg. in 1944 plus or minus. Sorry for the confusion and any trouble I may have caused you.

    Garandrew, Getting a letter from Colt will be about the only way to tell for sure where it was shipped.
