    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 would have to say Winchester just because of the punch mark. But I'm usually wrong.

    Billy Pyle's "The Garandicon Stand Report" Spring 2004 No 54 has line drawings of Winchester, Springfield and reproduction round firing pins done by Charles Redfield with acknowledgements to Bill Ricca.

    The top angle on the Winchester firing pins is 55 to 61 degrees while Springfield is 26 degrees. Your firing pins appear to me to be Springfield. Reproduction round firing pins have a difference in the shank slot
