    1895 Chilean Mauser

    Picked this old rifle up recently. Very nice condition, I'm thinking unissued. All matching but missing the numbered cleaning rod. Note the Star of David below the serial number on the stock. Ludwig Loewe was a Germanicon Jew and marked his rifles this way. Quality is simply outstanding!!

    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.

    Looks like wear on the metal so not unissued but still a VERY nice looking example

    I like it a lot. I looked at the slideshow of yours, Doug. Mine is peppered with tiny numbers and symbols as well, many hardly visible. Any idea what the double S represents on the floorplate of my rifle? Stamps are under the finish so it is factory maybe inspectors intials?
