    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.

    Roughly about later November 1943 for your serial number.

    Here's SG 3,473,548 with odd slingwell markings.
    A boxed S'G' with a large Crossed Cannons stamped either under or on top of the stock makers mark- J.
    J would be a Jewel Bros replacement stock. No M2 cut. Jewel Bros had a contract for replacement stocks , Production dates were Aug 44-April 45.
    All this for only $1200..... !

    Thoughts.........

    I know the Crossed Cannon stamp is hard to see.
    But when I look at it magnified @ 300% it looks to be the same stamp as pictured below.
    This is one of the Early Repro Inland stamps.

    Same Repro Inland stamp, maybe better view:

    Yep, that is a rare find. Definitely the Jewel stock marking. I think someone just wanted to try out the SG and CC stamps that they bought on ebay. Maybe they thought that the CC was going to cover up the J.

    I think I see a Grand Rapids TH and trigger on that one. The description describes it as a "fine piece of working history" and "chambered for .30 Carbine ammunition." That's a plus! - Bob

    Don't you hate it when you forget to use your Fake UEF over GHD stamp and CC BEFORE you varnish your stock !
    Yes, Same seller.

    With the OI above the RMC, I think that was when Overton was making stocks for Rock-Ola who sent them to QHMC. This guy needs to contact SamT to get some lessons on stock stamping.
