    DP Markings?

    What are the various markings to indicate Drill Purpose on Lee Enfield? Painted or Stamped DP on the stock and what else?

    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.

    For quick and thorough searches, everyone should check out the Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) which is located at the top right corner of the forums, just under the standard search box.

    It's a piece of custom code from Google that just searches Milsurps.Com posts and threads, including the archive.

    So, give it a try and you might find some really interesting old threads with content about topics you either never knew about or had forgotten.

    In this example, try searching for DP or Drill Purpose and see what turns up.

    Here's a few links to other threads where Peter Laidlericon and others have discussed the pitfalls of DP and ZF marked rifles ...

    Hope that helps ....

    Hi Badger,
    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it, I reviewed most of, if not all of those threads already. I suspect I am going wrong by not asking my question well. I have improved my question here (with pics): RSAF No.1 MKIII* for your consideration
