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.

Pics are priceless.

The bayonet you are describing is a modified US M1 icon

Garand bayonet. The muzzle ring has been changed so the bayonet will fit on a BM59 rifle. The seven-digit serial number you mentioned indicates that this is one of the bayonets that was modified either in or for Argentina icon

It fits both the 1903 and the M1 icon

Garand. Thanks for all your responces.

with a muzzle ring about 1/4 bigger than the one for the garand it would fit but be very very loose. the BM59 has a much larger flash hider that the 7/8ths fits snuggly

The bayonet in its original configuration would fit the '03 or the Garand icon

, but as Carl stated with the enlarged muzzle ring it would be a very sloppy fit. Definitely modified for the BM59.
