    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.

    What you might have is a late war scabbard. Everyone knows that late in the war the arisakas had to change to a wooden butt plate because the metal for these was unavailable. So why would the scabbards be exempt from these same restrictions? I have seen a couple of these since this post started and every single one was being sold as a "last ditch bayonet" so with what was going on with the metal shortages and lack of good machining on the Japaneseicon`s part it would make sense that the scabbards would also be made of wood late in the war just like the buttplates.
