    jeez--this reminds me of school days, I hated details, still do, times don't change. In a nutshell you have to do what you feel is right. If someone asks for some info I will pass it on a couple times, if I feel they are just trying to gain info without ever paying I quit answering, if it gets repeated I tell them they better join and try and participate. We only learn when we communicate what we have found and when its replicated by others. Established patterns become knowledge, as Bolo says even patterns of fakes become real, its up to us to prevent or fakery becomes real. When I posted the IP trophy I had totally missed the slide milling cut issue. I was just amazed at the broad use of faked parts in it, was most I have seen.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    The mark below the serial number is a marking applied by a foreign government, most likely in Europe. The only US marking applied below the SN on IP's was the flaming bomb similar to Underwood's receivers, but this is very rare on IP's
    Here is mine, it is a early century arm's import from Europe. It was blued when I bought it like yours but in my ignorance early in collecting I had it reparked.

    usgicollector: The flaming bomb was what I saw missing on the allegedly repro reciever. If that's rare on real underwoods, then I assume it's not the detail leading others to believe it's fake then.

    I dunno ! What a drama ! USGIColllector is right, they should look like this. It will take a lot of evidence to convince me otherwise. I've got a clue on the mark wrongly described as a flaming bomb and will follow it up. Mike.

    So what was the correct answer? The serial number is not in line or is the wrong font?
