    "T" for sale

    A member here has a very very nice T for sale and I'd snaffle it if I was in the area, however I did find something of mirth in the pics posted by Lance.
    Possibly the end of hostilities or a Monday or Friday thing but there is a very unique stamping on the wrist that made me laugh thinking about the person who did it.

    I'll not say anything but will share the picture and hope you find it amusing as I did thanks Lance.

    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).

    Maybe they did it on purpose so in future they could say "I did that one"...

    I'd guess it's how they positioned it on the bench. Whack! Then on to the next one. Pre 1968 country of origin stamp.

    Surely the stamp is the 'right way up' for you, its the manufacturers markings that are the wrong way .........................................
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    At least they did not screw up the body markings like they did for my Mark VI, right over the date!

    Thats not very nice of them, especially since back then they could put the country of origin stamp all over the place.
