    GEW 98 Danzig 1917

    I picked this up the day I got the Italianicon Brescia. It's the last "key" rifle I've been searching for. Not saying I have them all but this one made my day for sure. All numbers match with the exception of the rear sight. Bore is excellent. The rear sight on this is a piece of mechanical art. Stock cartouches are present but only a few are clear. Just goes to show that you might find something nice at a small show. Came with the muzzle cover but the sling is a reproduction.

    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, the slings are around and you'll find one eventually. Now for a butcher or sawback bayonet...
    Regards, Jim

    I have three different bayonets already, quillback, butcher and sawback. Since it's so late, the quillback probably not appropriate. Have an ersatz also that I believe will fit.

    It is "S" stamped. Bore is one of the nicest looking I've seen on a milsurp. Crisp right to the muzzle.

    Very, very nice. Another rifle I've always wanted. I suppose I should have bought one when lots were still around in shooting condition...about 40 years ago...
