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.

Well most likely it is just what it says, Disabled American Veterans, I have never seen any military DAV stamps of any kind.

Many of the ceremonial rifles got beat to **** but some of them just sat in the storage room gathering dust.

My Winchester was a ceremonial rifle as well, and it has an unused bore and overall in excellent shape, as opposed to many out there.

I know why it was in such good shape, they had put the 30-06 to .308 adapter sleeve in it but never recut the chamber for the .308 case profile, as a result they could never manage to get a 308 to fit into the chamber LOL, thier loss is my gain

Got any pictures to share?
