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.

Looks like a "DP" stamp on receiver. Drill Purpose.

It does doesn't it.

If it is in fact DP'd, its worth significantly less cash.

Did the DP apply to the entire rifle condition? If so, I would think that the receiver is probably safe to use.

If the receiver is stamped DP I wouldn't use it.

FWIW

Yes DP applies to the whole rifle. An armourer somewhere has decied for whatever reason that it is no longer safe to fire.
