SMLE Combination Tool

**Simon P** · 05-09-2014 10:59 AM

Got this in a box of Enfield sights I bought recently.

Combination tool for the SMLE, first introduced 1903, I think this is the 2nd version in 1910.

Interestingly has the CenTral retailers mark on it

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.

Slow gunshow this weekend but did find a small jewel along with a R.A.C Mk II holster. SMLE combination tool exactly like the previous poster's. After much searching I am unable to determine if the manufacturer is British icon

or Austrailian. Any opinions?

Thanks! Bought it as a display item and have a nice Lithgow to pair it with. Now all I need is a nice Webley to go with the holster.

I am always on the lookout for Enfield items. Felt very lucky to stumble upon the Aussie as I have never come across this tool in the flesh.

A large number of these appeared on the market some years ago, all made by Central, and for a time they were quite common and cheap.

I imported a box full of them, (all made by Central), in the late 90's. Sold at shows throughout the Southeast USA icon

including the big AGCA show. It might be one of those.
