Canadian Long Lees?

**Nyles** · 10-03-2007 02:02 PM

I recently acquired an M&D-marked Lee-Enfield Mk.1 (1896 BSA). I've haven't been able to get any reliable information on how many Canada icon

actually had, and the circumstances under which we got them. I've heard everything from 40,000 being purchased to only those troops who served in the Boer War being issued them from British icon

stores. Which is correct?

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.

I have same rifle. Recall reading 4,000 were ordered by Canada icon

. I'll do a little search and see if can confirm that number. Any regimental marks on butt-plate? Mines the 30th (Guelph?).
