    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 ...

    These could in fact be WW II issue jackets. The first one appears to have the metal 13 star buttons commonly used on early war HBT twill jackets. Check the inside of the pockets for a white Quarter Master's tag that will indicate the manufacturing date and other information.

    Yes, I think they are all WW 2, However all but one - with slash pockets - are shirts, NOT jackets.
    Have you looked inside the pockets for tags? Some also had them on the inside at the bottom of the tail. Also sometime printed rather than a sewn in tag.

    The first one is a p-41 pattern issued to Navy Corpsman (medics) attached to the Marines. Also used by Seabee's. The jacket is a Navy version of the M-41 Field Jacket. They are usuallystamped USN on the front also but this one appears to have missed the stamper.

    Those all appear to be different variants of USN issued shirts from the WWII era.
    Thank God for John C. Garand!
