    Lightbulb Update - No.3 MkI* (T)A (Alexander Martin Conversion)



    With thanks to Valleysniper for his photo montage and scrmblerkari for permission to use his pics, we've updated the "Collectors Comments and Feedback" section of this entry in the England - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here).

    No.3 MkI* (T)Sniper Rifle - (Pattern 1914 Mk1* W (T)A Sniper Rifle) (click here) ... Refer to Notation #2.

    This entry shows one of only 421 sniper rifles converted by Alexander Martin of Glasgow. There are several pics in the "Collector's Feedback and Comments" section of the main library entry, showing font and stamping examples, as compared against pics provided by several collectors of other known examples which currently reside in collector's hands. These pic close-ups are very helpful in spotting reproduction mounts, which have been sold on various auction sites in the past.

    Valleysniper has added to the Knowledge Library article for this rifle, a beautiful 25 pic photo montage of a rare Aldis Pattern 2 scope owned by scrmblerkari.

    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.
