    Flip Sight Questions

    I found this Flip Sight in a bag at the bottom of a bin. I can't remember why I seperated this one from the others. 1st of all do you think it's real and 2nd would anyone know about these peculiar marks I circled. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the bad resolution if you need more clearer pics I will try again with different settings...Thank You

    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.

    It sure is hard looking Frank, I can't imagine anyone trying to age a sight that far. It has pits and everything.

    Chisel stake marks to secure the aperture pin.
    'Really Senior Member' Especially since I started on the original Culver forum. That had to be about 1998.

    I think it is an original. The staking looks like it was done by an armorer at a later date. I expect the pin was migrating and that was his cure. It certainly isn't a standard staking mark. (-o- or >o<)

    Inland??? Are you still having those "REALLY SENIOR MOMENTS"?
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
