    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.

    If any of those are OD they're very faded.

    I don't want to say what the seller thought he had as far as the number of OD.
    I don't want to sway any thoughts.

    Then I'm snow blind.
    Storm has passed here, we're very lucky to what the NE is going to see.
    I took these pics in the garage with some sun on them.
    They look different inside.

    If there is any green it is/was OD. Khaki is pretty yellow.

    This is not a test, really am looking for y'alls thoughts.

    Seller thought he had 2 OD and 7 he called "Marine Issue"
    That got me a bit worried. I asked if they were marked Marine. (thinking Uh Oh)
    He replied NO, they're that Marine color.

    From Left To Right,
    The 4th and 5th have the early round keeper.

    Now Inside they look quite different. I'll have to try some different pics from inside.

    Once before I posted a box with misc C tips for color help.
    2 other boxes all looked green to me, but this link shows the other ones I just wasn't sure of at that time.

    Here's the link and replies to that box...
    Anyone see Khaki?

    I'll try new pictures with some Khaki med pouches laying across this new batch later tonight or in the morning.

    To me Aged Khaki looks like a Burlap color.
    I'm not up on the transitional colors like guys such as Mr. Ricca.

    Appreciate the help,
    Charlie

    You guys, don't forget - there's some good pics of khaki (make that OD#3) slings in the "sticky" threads. - Bob
