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.

Straightup from the markings I would say it is a repro, and just checked with my real one (dated 12-16) to make sure, and they definitely look wrong. The setup and the fonts are clearly different. Also the Winchesters are cut with a very distinctive blade 'run-out' onto the ricasso which this one hasn't got. The correct finish should be a sandblasted blade with a lightly blued ricasso. No clearance hole in these and they should always have the regular 'slotted' timber grips. Another photo from the crossguard back to the pommel would be good to see what they have done there. Cheers.

The bending proof looks like two upside down V's rather than an X. Don't take this wrong but the pics could be clearer...

Hello.

I think you have a genuine P13 Winchester. I have a dozen of these that I purchased over in Afghanistan with markings identical to yours.

I have also seen locally produced Afghan P07 with fake Winchester markings, but the fake markings are easily identified. Please give me a few days to locate photos that I have taken of mine.
