    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It's a Parker Hale model of some sort...

    Check the links I left for you and download the catalog to see if it's in there...

    Regards,

    As was indicated, it's obviously a Parker Hale sight as it's stamped. You even found the patent number with filing and associated pic. The links I left you should tell you everything you need to know about Parker Hale sights, plus use the site "search" function to look up more threads about Parker Hale

    As the comments in one of the MKLicon links I left you say:

    3. For anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the evolution of A.J. Parker/Parker Hale micrometer sights, I'd recommending locating this rare and interesting book called A Century of Sights and Sighting Aids by Edna Rosalind Parker. She is the daughter of Alfred J. Parker (founder of Alfred J. Parker Ltd.) and granddaughter of A.G. Parker (founder of Parker hale Ltd.). With her knowledge of the business and access to all of the various historical documents and pictures of the various sights, this little book makes for a very through and accurate reference piece on the subject. There is no ISBN number for it, so I'd suggest you use a "Google" search on the title to see if you can find a copy from one of the rare used book sources on the Internet. I found my copy on a table at a local gun show. ....... (Feedback by "Badger")

    (Click PIC to Enlarge)(Click PIC to Enlarge)
    See if you can locate a copy of that book which is quite good about the evolution and versions of this company and it's sighting products.

    Regards,
    Doug
