Some available at local gun show. I believe according to Skennerton icon

's it is both cordite MDT and Berdan primed. Maybe more collectible than shootable? Appreciate your thoughts, Don.

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.

They have been selling in the $40.00+ range per bandoleer

Thanks tivaughn. Are folks out your way shooting it or collecting for display? Bandoleers are '41 manufacturer marked, '44 RG ink stamped, and brass is shiny. Don

Priced too high for me, so I am not 100% sure what they do with it - my assumption would be they are buying it to collect it.

Made by Royal Ordanance Rawday Green in Cheshire in 1944, so will be Cordite with corrosive primers.
Perfectly shootable (maybe not the most accurate), but be sure to thoroughly clean the barrel afterwards.

Radway Green. A typo I guess.

The lack of a "Z" after VII means Cordite.

It's been going to about $40/bandoleer my way too, when I see it. Last time I bought any was when it was priced at half that. It shoots pretty good. I had a few with a slight delay but nothing like the Pakistani ammo.
