    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.

    I'm sure that there is a light bronze green paint here but the only ones I've heard of in use were DEEP bronze green and MID bronze green. If you send a paint colour scraping to the paint company they're pretty good at identifying on the spectrometer and will send the paint mic code

    Yes agreed. As Peter has said, I also have only ever seen this paint Termed. Deep Bronze green in Service. Having used it myself on some of my own vehicles. I can say that dependant
    on how much you thin it down. & if you add a SMALL amount of a lighter paint colour. You would get a lighter shade of it on paint finish.

    But, the Bottom line is: Paint, Deep Bronze Green......................

    All we seemed to use was Deep Bronze Green but MID bronze green was used on export Land Rovers destined for...., well....., export!. If you have a 60's or early 70's Austin, Morris, MG, Britishicon Leyland car with a green engine block, then this is MID bronze green. While I was restoring my Mini Cooper I took some paint samples down to a big Germanicon paint importers (GLASURIT-BECK) who scanned the samples and identified it as Mid Bronze Green. And it was...... They mixed me a can of slow drying heat resistant paint for free.

    There was a sequel too........ One of the top men there got to know I was restoring a car and asked me about it. To cut a long story short, he said that if it was just a newly restored shell on wheels, with a bonnet, boot and doors ready to fit, they would paint it for me for free as part of their training school syllabus for top quality painters. And they did! Put SKD220G into the search engine to see the result

    Generally speaking over here, Peter, you've just described a newly eligible divorcee.
