Is there an easy way to distinguish a authentic type 2 band from a cutdown type 3 band?

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.

We have a lot of that goes on here in the UK icon

as people try to make their carbines look more WW2 and dont know how to remove the front sights to change the barrel bands......

I usually look for rough saw cut edges and possible damage to the barrel where the unsuspecting person has cut too far...

The quick way to tell is to learn the markings for the two different bands plus the usual signs, but a really good faker can actually make one that most people would not question.
