    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.

    Sure, but you need to post photographs of the action markings - especially the royal cyphers.

    You are aware of the "Khyber Pass" copies that are locally made?

    I am aware of the copies, and did not buy them. I researched all the sites, bought some of the books, and spent hours meticulously sorting through mountains of guns to find what I wanted. as for pictures stand by for the pics they will take a bit.

    The 1876 is not listed is a year MH MKI's were made, so it couldn't have been converted to a MKII. It has some spurious view and proof marks also.

    I suggest you buy volume 3 of Temple and Skennertonicon's Treatise onthe Britishicon Military Martini. The book has the production date info in it.

    And also buy a copy of The British Broad arrow a book on Brtish view and proof mark.

    Both are available from http://www.skennerton.com/rifles.html
