    1950 Long Branch Rifle - Consecutive Numbered

    Rifles were listed individually by the seller. One posting had slightly different title and was almost missed.

    The pictures were before linseed oilicon, colours are now darker and uniform across the lot. They were dry as popcorn.

    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.

    There was a crate of 4 consecutive numbered LB #4's sold on Gunbroker a couple of years ago in crate. iIRC they went for just over $5k for the 4.

    These were originally listed on one of the online auction sites. Gunbroker IIRC, it was a several years ago. The group that Newcastle mentioned was a different lot, no crate with these.

    Seem to remember the seller told me these were out of an estate. My guess is they were part of the collection for a long time and were purchased in the crate. Back then crates were just crates and probably used for firewood.
