Small sight cover mark on LL Garands

**GUTS** · 04-01-2013 11:07 PM

I was reading an article about the little mark on the sight covers of the LL Garands in one of the GCA icon

books and got mine out of the safe to see if it was on there. It is very small but I tried to capture it so it can be made out. The books are old so there may allready be pictures out there, if so I apologize.

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.

There is quite a list if you dig into early GCA icon

newletters. The marking appears to have started after the drawing number was deleted on the Springfield flat cover in mid 1940.

Winchester flat covers are not marked all others are Springfield Attachment 41721 Attachment 41720 Attachment 41722 Attachment 41723 Attachment 41724 Attachment 41725

What's strange is it appears to be raised instead of stamped.

We've already discussed this here once but I don't think anyone came up with any meaning to the marks. Mine looks like a tiny V...
