    Couple of nice knuckles knives

    The one on the left I purchased at the Tulsa gun how a couple of years ago. The one on the right I purchased from Bill Wright this year at the SOS/National Gun Day Show.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Those look like they'd hurt a guy.
    Are they military issue?

    Not military issue but private purchase by individuals. The are called Shipley knuckles as they are in Shipley sheaths. It is unknown who actually made them WW2 era.

    Anything can be forged. With that said to duplicate these it would cost some $$$ and time. I have never in 40 years of collecting knuckle knives ever seen one of these forged.

    Looks like they fit the hand very well, also like they've been well used or handled.
