    Anybodies like some homework?

    ...it'll be gun related, ie fun - I need some digital photos of enfield parts.

    I have the website, enfield resource.com, and I'm wanting to start some new pictorial pages.
    For the longest time the following has been a puzzle to me, so I'm guessing maybe to others too, and I've been wanting to do this for a while but just don't have the parts to take the series of pictures myself.
    Could someone send me good clear digital pics of the following that clearly demonstrate the differences, I might even need a bit of an email so I know what they are too;

    -I'm after all of the nosecap variations for the no1 to no1 mk3.
    -I'm after ditto for no1 to no1mk3 trigger guard variations.

    I can only use three pics of each of the nosecaps and trigger guards. Two should/could be full size showing the whole item, inside too if its relevant. The single shot should show a close up of the change ie swivel screw hole missing.
    -I'd also like to show a set of pictures of the makers mark on the face of the no4 mk1 rear sight, ie B, F, P in a circle, etc. The

    The no4 rear sights, just one photo of each with the makers mark clearly visible. A 3/4 angle low down looks good, or medium and square on would also be good.
    The sights should be clean and the faces in good shape.

    There's also makers marks down the sides of no4 rear sights, I'm almost never concerned with them, but what about you all, would you also like to see the marks and numbers from the other places on the sights, ie side of the slider?

    On all the photos it would look better if the camera angles were repeated for each set.

    Thanks, any takers? It could be more than one person if you happened to have ie a handful of rear sights.
    Naturally you'll be famous after this as an enfield historical photographer for evermore, with maximum name in lights etc.

    The pics could be posted here on the forum for others to see also just what a second varation nosecap is, if you like and Badger's Ok with this, or they could be sent to my email if you decide to pm me.

    many thanks, this will be an interesting addition to the site.

    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.

    I can do some photos, but you'll have to edit/crop them yourself, as the only editor I've figured out is the one on photobucket. No.1 Mk.III, III*, Indian, Australianicon, English- Not all variants but quite a few. Plus, 2A1. No pre-SMLE Mk.III nose caps, though.

    Don't forget the insides of the nose caps showing those with milled/lightened bayonet "stubs" (for lack of a better term), and those that are solid, not milled.

    No dramas!
    I rooted around this morning trying to find if any Indian mfg'd caps in my possession have that feature , but so far only the English ones have it.
