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.

Saw that type of symbol only once, and that was on an Israeli weapon, not sure whether it had two W's though as it was a long time ago.
Is it possible it was one that has travelled in your direction from the Holy Land, as it looks like an "after" armourers mark and done not so long ago?
Just a thought

Peter,
Who specifically? any idea?

Possibly a post war marking of Wiener WaffenFabrik GmbH.

Its a very common mark found on 100s of surplussed rifles, it is Frankonia of Germany icon

.

Many of the No4 Mk2s that come back from the US that have Century Arms import marks also have the Frankonia Mark and German Proof marks.
