Can't imagine what guard you've been looking at. Out of the hundreds of guys that looked at this, you're the only one to notice?

    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.

    Actually, It was just slapped back together when I took that picture. The pummel wasn't peened back on yet, so easy flip which was done shortly after it was noticed. I would have made sure anyway before the pommel is peened. Easy mistake since that gaurd is broken off anyway. . But no worries, it has been corrected.

    It is, or rather was, back to front!

    The broken (missing) piece of the guard would have had a little hook on it that would have located in a little squared hole in the pommel (where the grip and the pommel meet). The round ball shaped fiinial sweeps down and is to the rear. In similar style to that shown here, though this is of course, a different pattern sabre.

    This a replica, though not a particularly good picture of the type of hit as it would have looked.
