    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.

    Could be Yougoslav, but I think they are Rumanian - post war.

    Bear in mind that this is just a guess, but I would not be surprised if it isn't an abbreviation for Jagd Regiment 46, 12 Kompanie, Nummer 1, the unit property mark.

    Good try Paul S. Could be right.

    But in 1914 the Jaeger were organized in batallions of 4 companies, not regiments, ruling out a company 12. So the J is probably an example of the Germanicon use of a capital J instead of I, to avoid confusion with the number 1.So I think the more likely interpretations is:
    Infanterie Regiment 46, 12 Kompanie, Nummer 1.

    But I could be wrong! It would be helpful to know exactly what type of (presumably) Mauser this is.
