    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 ...

    Well, ZLT was a Canadianicon company, as marked, and we used those for a while. They seem to have drifted out of service by about Korea and I never did see them in service. That was from the 70's onward. We had a pattern that stayed with us from Korea and changed from the belt hooks to Velcro to 82 pattern...this one seems to have held a very short life. As you see, it held a mag and a cleaning rod as well...
    Regards, Jim

    That is the original "Chinese Pattern" holster and as noted it had a short life in Cdn service.

    Made by Zephyr Loom and Textile of Guelph Ontario Canadaicon.
    They made a large share of the webbing in Canada during the war.

    I should think the bottom line is, if you have a collection of Canadianicon pattern holsters, you'd have to have this one too...

    It's also known as the "Type 1" Hi Power holster. The "Type 2" had a double flap opening, not just the top flap as seen on this example.

    Those were a real package for holding a pistol secure. They'd be almost impossible to get at the handgun in a fast situation though. Keep it clean though...
