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.

It's a loading lever for a model 1836 Colt Paterson revolver.

That can't be a common item...

**gsimmons** · 08-05-2011 09:30 AM

It looks like one of the repro's.

**browningautorifle** · 08-05-2011 01:08 PM

OK, that would make sence. But I wouldn't know.

I'm thinking it looks larger than it is . I'm guessing the spike is for clearing the nipples and the " crown" is the wrench for removing them. How do you use it to get the leverage you need to seat the balls ? Only way I can figure is if the spear point end fits in the bbl wedge slot ? Just a WAG. Or is there another part to this ?

Yes it goes in the barrel wedge slot. Because it's sort of spoon shaped it can be moved in the slot. I don't remember if it's a combo tool or not.
