    Another 1888, but not sure on the marking..

    In the Discussion thread I mentioned the War and Peace show, weather wise couldn't ask for a better day, had just under 5 hours browsing the trade stands was hoping to get back to see the vehicles but too much on this weekend, plus the cost of travel....

    Didn't see that much looked at many bayonets as I,m looking at branching out, a few caught my eye that needed some work including realy nice Japaneseicon one, blade was excellent but the rest needed some TLC....

    In the end settled for a reasonable (but been cleaned) 1888, unit marked NR which I thought it was Norfolk Regiment or Northamptonshire Regiment, but looking at my list Norfolk was NK, and Northamptonshire was NN.....

    Anybody any Ideas ? Pics below (dont take any notice of the price on the blade it was nearly half of that.)

    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.
