    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.

    Ebay with good pictures will bring the best price. Scabbards are harder to come by than bayonets.

    Without seeing it, hard to say but $100 is pretty much top dollar for an excellent condition example. Not likely to get that at a gun show. There are plenty of reproductions out there too.

    Ebay currently has one listed for over $100 which no one is touching and one that has been bid up to $82. There are several others less than that with no bids. It also depends on the manufacturer.

    That should mean the paint is mostly gone. They were brown fiberglass type material underneath. If it's what we suspect. Less finish means lower price. Pics would really help.

    You are correct.(as usual) Now that I found one locally prices have dropped. Several months ago I gave up on e-bay scabbard due to the prices.
    You never want to be looking for an item at the same time as me. Bad mojo.
