    Are these real training aids ?

    Picked these up because the owner was going to burn them. Have two of the wooden cut out ones and then the one that looks like a rifle. the second one is made with some crude cast aluminum and the bolt is brass. It opens and coks and the trigger releases the firing pin. has a safty that works when the bolt is cocked.
    Are these real military type training aids ?
    Thanks Derrick

    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.

    I have one similar to the one shown with the brass bolt. I was told it was a training aid for bayonet practice (p1907 fits th nosecap), used in India.

    Have seen pictures of the first 2. They were training/drill rifles. Used early in the war when the "real" guns were needed for the front. The bottom one is an early "bayonet Trainer" and fairly rare. The quotes are because that is the advertised use in the sales fliers, not sure if that is the actual designation.

    Thanks you Amitikulu and Jona. Is there any interest in these ? If so what would be a fair price ? I,m going to get rid of them as I do not collect enfields or related materials. Derrick
