Harlan, well, lo and behold it's '42 dated... now that I have revisited its interior. Here's the under side and some interior markings...

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Cool. It looks like it has the arrow stamped on so much British icon

stuff. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will see it and let us know if it's the British helmet called (I think) MK II

Not meaning to jump your thread, but someone posted Nazi and Tommy helmets.....

Harlan, these are all certainly UK MkII helmets. My area of collecting is WW2 UK/US arms and militaria. Here's another, in green and stamped '42 (It it is of Canadian icon

mfg. - C.L./C. = Canadian Motor Lamp Co.).

Here's one more for all the Lee Enfield guys...

It's a British icon

MkII (AMC = Austin Motors Co., Cowley) with a Canadian oil cloth camouflage rainproof cover.

Conec,
Good show Man! I really like that oil cover!!

**conec** · 01-02-2012 11:40 AM

The oil cloth cover is well marked...

And how about a late WW2 (web strap) Airborne hat...
