    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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The last lot of 'in the wrappers' MK3 Bren mags out of Ireland were packed at ROF Woolwich in 1955 and went for £3.00 each at Beltring.
    Ebay may be kinder to you ?

    I don't want to sell I was curious as to their worth in case I paid too much. I was hoping they would be FF marked but the one not in the wrapper isn't.
    Magazine manufacture fascinates me.

    8udr the only FF, Fianna Fail marked mags I have ever seen have been pre war Czechicon made ones.



    Have you come across UKicon/Commonwealth manufactured magazines FF marked ?
