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.

Simon looks genuine to me!! Having said that no amount of suncorite 259, will bring this old girl back to its former glory!! Where did you find it? France icon

I must assume?

**Peter Laidler** · 03-15-2014 04:29 PM

Found in a well in a garden at Arnhem? I have a Mk5 Sten found in one. I say Mk5 Sten but it could be, well....., anything!

**Simon** · 03-15-2014 04:33 PM

It was found in Normandy a good few years ago. Like a Bloody fool I let a mate buy it off me and have regretted it ever since

Cheers,

Simon.

Is there any ammo in the mag??

**Simon** · 03-15-2014 05:20 PM

There was.

**Alan de Enfield** · 03-15-2014 05:57 PM

Weeeeeell - there are no obvious T & TR markings, but I suppose it could be an early one (before the markings were standarised)

and the screws do not appear to be staked...

Remember the Germans devised the machine pistol with a curved barrel to sweep their tank decks of Russians trying to plant sticky bombs and such to the structure wwwwellll looking at the angle of the barrel on this T looks as if the British icon

were developing better protection for their sniper by shooting around corners now if you had the scope for that rifle now wouldn't that be something..........

Peter did you ever work on one of these curve barrelled T's ?
