    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.

    WIN-13s

    At the end of the war, Winchester had a couple of hundred undelivered WIN-13s. They used some for retirement gifts, customer relations, sales prizes, etc. but still had some left when they closed their museum. Most were sold to connected New Englandicon dealers who could buy them at a low appraised value of about $200. A couple of dozen were not bought and were sold in an unpublicized auction. I bought one from one of those dealers for $400, he doubled his money on that fish from New Jersey LOL

    The wood has a very pronounced arch over the trigger guard.

    Arch

    Yes, that was the original SA specification. They dropped it for simplicity, but WRA never changed anything in their contract unless they got paid to do so.

    And they duplicated SA serial numbers in the 1.6 million range.

    Duplicates

    I guess we will never know why they jumped from 2.5 mil to 1.6 mil -- I was very disappointed that Bruce Canfield's Pugsley files never mentioned a word about it. It's so strange... they changed the receiver drawing number, so they had something in mind for that lot.
