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.

Not an East India Company Pattern musket, they were all English-made and marked and of high quality, at least as good or better quality than the Ordnance Patterns made for the British icon

military. It appears to be an Indian-made copy for one of the smaller leaders in India. As far as value? Since it is complete and in reasonable good condition for what it is, somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 US or maybe a little more. I'm sure others will have information as well.

Just seen, was on holiday. Agree with gew8805. On British icon

-made guns the fit of the snail to the lock plate is always well-nigh-perfect. Not so in this case. This point alone enables you to eliminate a large number of guns from those offered.
