    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It's a loading lever for a model 1836 Colt Paterson revolver.

    I'm thinking it looks larger than it is . I'm guessing the spike is for clearing the nipples and the " crown" is the wrench for removing them. How do you use it to get the leverage you need to seat the balls ? Only way I can figure is if the spear point end fits in the bbl wedge slot ? Just a WAG. Or is there another part to this ?

    Yes it goes in the barrel wedge slot. Because it's sort of spoon shaped it can be moved in the slot. I don't remember if it's a combo tool or not.
