    Unhappy The missing T on some of the Long branch snipers

    Looking for the reason on why the T was not stamped after the * on some of the early (1943) long branch snipers. Can someone shed some light for on this. Why I am asking for help with information does anyone know of a Ron Sanderson?? a collector in Canadaicon, the name was mentioned in a collectors meeting that he had or has quite a collection of sniper rifles. The collectors were not sure and wanted to know more?????

    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.

    From what I've read and gleaned, Long Branch was developing their sniper program their own way. Their system for marking had not yet been established. Just because H & H did it one way did not necessarily mean it was done that way by LB.
    The Maltese cross stamp is another such mystery. They are not seen systematically across rifles and parts.

    There is a lot to be learned about these rifles.
