    I bought my Eddystone at the Zoo.

    The local Zoo was selling its Eddystone to buy modern weapons. In a letter from the Zoo they stated they have had the Eddystone for over 30 years. The Eddystone has been Arsenal Rebuilt. In a rectangle on the left side of the stock is SSAA. The barrel is marked HS with ordnance bomb and a P. The front sight is Remington and the bolt is Eddystone. Behind the trigger guard is a P in a square. It also came with a cleaning kit in the stock. It looks like the rifle has not been fired sense the Zoo got it. I don't think I'm going to shoot it, It's too nice. Not a mark on it. Sorry no pictures.

    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.
