    I have seen 2 more P14 Winchesters with F-type sights in the last 4 months. Both are owned by members of the rifle club which I attend. I did a double take when I saw both, I only picked mine up in January this year, the low number was the main reason I was interested. The rear sight has a different serial number to the rifle.

    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.

    Very nice indeed, I managed a standard Winchester P14 sight without a serial. I wonder how rare an unmarked F type is??

    Sure it's not just a M1917 sight what you have?

    Andrew, I guess I already told you I want that N.Z. marked P.14 (F) of you! And a few others aswell!

    I also have a spare M1917 rear sight, there is a difference in length and distance markings. The P 14 is longer and reads to 1650 I was surprised how different they actually are.
