    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.

    It may be a knife handle . The middle rifle is not a Garandicon and looks to be one of the bolt actions . Can't see enough to id the make ( captured K98icon or which model of '03 ).

    I was thinking it's a 1903 or A3 by the front band and swivel...could that be just a cigar in that guy's shirt?

    Well, there weren't any mics that small back then.
