    I have bayonet DA 265. Bayonet was not reground to a sharp point as was typically done for those used in Franceicon. Scabbard was modified by the Britishicon with a P1888 mouth and the leather stained black. Bayonet is dated 12/14. Scabbard is dated 1909.

    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.

    We need to consider that the DA markings were put onto the rifles and bayonets by the Chileans when they were received with HMS Canadaicon in 1920. Whether this was the complete stock with which she had been issued in 1916, I doubt that we shall ever know. If so, surviving DA numbers suggest that the original issue was somewhat in excess of 400.

    I was at Milarm in Edmonton and bought a nice Snider, Carcano and a P14 Enfield then I noticed a Ross .I asked can I put i on layaway?
    We cant do that on consignments, so I went home but that rifle bugged the **** out of me, the next day I said to hell with it I will put on my credit card.
    So I went back and they said said someone bought it, I said to myself well you lost on that one. Christmas day I had a present, I unwrapped 9 boxes.
    I opened the last one and there was a Ross bolt, tears welled up in my eyes and my wife said go to the spare room and get the rest of your present.
    Under the bed was DA69 I will never part with it or my darling wife

    For people posting their HMS Canadaicon DA serial numbers
    Please remember to let us know all three (3) of them, not just the rifle and bayonet.

    Also if you know the rifle serial number (year, two letter series and number from above the date as well as any unit issue markings we would love to know these as well.


    1. Rifle body/received left side
    2. Bolt top at rear
    3. Bayonet cross-guard
