    4T transit chest restoration information

    I contacted the ebay seller staffscolonel and he is able to produce 1 inch stencils for the 4T transit chest and will direct him to his website so those who need the stencils for restoration projects can obtain them from him. His cost is 10 GBP plus shipping.

    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.

    See your last thread re the font if he is using an old Army stenciling machine. NOT the same as the chest. Maybe Skippy could show us the font from the QM's issue machine. I would but me, computers and photographs ain't words that sit easily together. A bit like Officer, map and compass!

    Thanks Peter As a general question, what are the appropriate colors for the 4T chest? I've seen what looks like OD green with white letters, and khaki/tan with black letters.

    Also, Brian Dickicon has nice leather replacement handles for $30 per set, plus shipping.
