    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.

    Can't recall seeing a TH dog leg hammer before. He also sold a leaf sight with a B-IP base and an S-P leaf. I don't recall seeing an S-P leaf before either.

    Didn't zoom in before. The TH is H.I. upside down with the periods very close.

    The H.I. upside down makes it look like TH I was concerned about the odd machine marks.

    No expert here, but I have a feeling the trigger is OK. The machining and finish looks legit. The S'G' parts that he has listed look correct and the wear on them looks "right." I have to question that IP sight that sold recently, though - I've got one and his looks different. - Bob

    Trigger? I thought we were talking about a hammer.

    While the hammer is real the two type 1 rear sights he is selling are doubtful at best.

    Thanks all. I was most concerned over the tight spacing between the H.I. and the strong stamping. I have several HI hammers and the spacing is greater. The milling marks probably look accentuated by the lighting. I'm far from an expert, so that's why I asked
