    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.

    Original examples are very hard to come by, but there are lots of storage boxes and outright fakes floating around being passed off as original. Just know what you are looking at.

    I have one that I have had for about 15 years. I really don't know how I got it or even if it is a fake. Please describe the characteristics of an original specimen. I don't really collect stuff anymore and have only kept a few items over the years. It would be nice to know what I do have on hand. Thank you.

    Pictures of yours would be quite helpful.
