    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I have some excellent and detailed reference books by Clive Law on the Inglis Browning. I'm not sure if that info is in them, but I'd be willing to have a look if I can find them.

    Unfortunately, we just moved and I have a basement full of boxes with most marked "books", so I have no idea where they are. It might take a month before I have the time due to business issues, to wade through and locate them.

    Regards,

    Ok.... looking thru my stuff all I found was the 1955 version serial numbers....

    How do you tell the difference, you ask...

    The 1910 will have Fabrique National rollmarks and "FN" at the top of each grip panel.

    The 1955 should have "Browning Arms Company St Louis Mo" and "Made in Belgiumicon" on the left side of the slide. Right side is blank. Grips will have "Browning" at the top of each grip panel.
    I can't seem to locate any other serial number references for the Brownings.

    A 1910 in .380 was used by Gavrillo Princip to start WW1.
