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.

Can you read "D6835448" or "D6535448" instead ?
Thank you.

Hi Browningautorifle, yes really long time. I hope all is ok there.
In the second pix from the top I can read the complete drawing number. Can't you ?

I can see the drawing number but it's hard to make out several of the digits. I dug my Danish icon

return M-1 out of the safe and it has D 6535448 with a 7-60 date of manufacture. I assume the drawing numbers will be the same.

Thank you again, vintage hunter.

I tend to go with what Vintage Hunter has found. Makes sense too. Yes, all is well here.

The DK with the crown stands for "Kingdom of Denmark icon

". I don't know what the stamp that looks like "KOA within the circle is. A proof mark maybe ???

**Bizio** · 12-07-2014 05:20 AM

Maybe yes. I googled a lot but did not came to any solution for this acronym.

Can't help out on the markings. But can say that those VAR barreled M1 icon

Garands are really nice shooters.
