I think the screwed on peened pommel is earlier and scarce. Mine...not so much.

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.

Garandrew,

Is the care tag original to that knife, or could it maybe have been added? It's a nice touch, but the tag appears to be in better condition then the knife handle and scabbard.

No slight intended, just asking.

I have a couple with the tags and they appear mint.

I think its original to the scabbard. Have you ever seen a care card for sale? The knife is nicer than the pics

As a matter of fact I have seen the care cards for sale. Around 1990 or 91. The same time as the 1944 stamped sling tag was going around.

It came from an old collection, purchased by an old friend of mine, Bill Moore of Military Specialties in Newington, CT. I can only take it for what it is now.
I am thrilled with it.
