    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.

    A small fortune! The last original rear sight tool I saw for sale sold for nearly $750. I don't know that they are really worth that much, but that is what the one example sold for.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Any suggestions where to look to get an idea what price to ask?

    Thanks

    The price for the rear sight tool does sound high. I had one a great while back, but sold it. Don't remember what I got for it, but nowhere near 750. Hard to say where to look for prices. They don't show up real often. I would be interested in the reamer if you arrive at a price.
