Look at these Underwoods

**Rustship** · 01-19-2012 07:01 PM

What are the odds of a collector finding a set like this 20 years apart? Actually a member on this forum owns these, and by chance found the twin to 476 just a month ago. Both Carbines are Pristine and Original. Again what are the odds. Does anyone on here have a set of consectutive serial numbers.

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.

They even look alike. Color, only one bomb, but remarkable. Same bolts same bluing.
Amazing.

Dave if you look close I think I see a bomb on each one.

I read a while back in a CC newsletter. There is a person with consecutive E numbered carbines. Now that is nice.

Oh, the lives of the Rich and Famous ... I mean the rich and RICH

That really is a great "cool" factor to your collection!

Rusty, do you know if he found them in and around the same area?
I got the feeling that they came out of the same crate and stayed together until 20 years ago.....Frank
