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.

An original Boyt M7 and it looks very nice. You don't see them around much any more, more M3s or black M7s. Not that they're rare, just not many left on the market. Boyt made lots of leather goods. As for the value...hang on a minute...

The condition and the green waxy substance on the metal are consistant with the M8 I have that is known to be legit. Take care with the fasteners as they can be a bit fragle. Perhaps a bit of wax type lube can prevent damage fastening/unfastening. Value? I have seen some on e-bay which is probably about the best way to determine real world value (careful of repros). Very nice piece in need of a 1911.

M7s are brown with two straps...and M3s have one...

Attachment 43583 Correction to my previous post I think mine is an M3.

For a revolver no less. Those aren't as common as some others.

I had searched in the web last night and I could'nt find many of them around.

Here is my Colt M1911 A1 with the M7 holster

I like the layout for your stuff, it still gets ahead of you though. After a bit it's sort of deeper than wide and you can't see the bottom any more. Some very good looking gear there. Yes, there are several of us here that will admit to walking around the house wearing equipment like the M7...and .45.
