SMLE Training Sight - help needed to identify?

**Nigel** · 12-09-2018 06:36 PM

I picked this up today. I was told it is a training sight for the SMLE. It fixes over the Nose Cap. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've never seen one before. It does magnify very slightly.Attachment 97640

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.

Never seen one before; however it does look like a front Galilean sight for a Match Rifle.
These were generally shot between 800 and 1200 yards, the circular aiming spot is the tell tale indicator for my thoughts!

It would need to be paired with a clearing lens on the rear sight surely?

Not necessary so Eddie, I has a Steyr supine match rifle that was probably in the region of 3x power that didn't require a clearing lens.
