    At first glance the numbers do look very similar, but the loop on the threes is quite different on the bracket.

    Of course, who could have known the 'correct' numbers to stamp on either rifle or bracket until this documentation surfaced?

    MUST be genuine IMO.

    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.
