    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.

    Dip stick attached to the top?
    Washer inside?
    Leather or rubber?

    Looks like a homemade oiler, or at least the cap does. Notice the dipper is a tube? The genuine oilers have a tiny dip stick that doesn't pick up much oil at all, this one would probably grab a bunch with one dip. During the war, a lot of machinists had a lot of time on their hands and the material and tools to make stuff (Trench art).
