    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.

    Is the case Canadianicon or Britishicon....???? I cannot quite see the hinges nor the handles and it does not appear to have the inset end on the lid as the British cases..
    It does look Canadian by the screw pattern, but the hinges are just a bit blurry and out of the picture
    The chest below is Canadian and probably a No.7 chest
