    Stamp on Lithgow No.1 Mk3 1914

    My 1914 Lithgowicon has "2nd MD" stamped on the knox. Any ideas what this is?

    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.

    It is is good condition overall. "Regulated by Fultons" stamped atop the barrel, still has cutoff. However the charger bridge is broken off the main body on the left side so i cannot use charger clips to reload it. it also is not fabulously accurate and i wonder if these two facts are linked as the charger bridge would stiffen the action would it not? I have wondered if I could get it refixed but have NO idea how i or anyone would do this. You'll see when get pics.

    Or was it removed by some well meaning sod? We've seen this before too.

    That's a shame. Always hoping for something special.
