    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.

    Yap...but is weird because this is the 1891 model, so the year 1890 doesn't fit ....

    Thanks for the reply, but 06 it would be 1906, and lugansk used a 3 digit number from the beginning of 1900's...to be the year 1906 it must've stamped 906...big difficulty in identifying this headstamp.
    And the 0? Is related to what?

    7,62x54R headstamps on early examples

    I also have some early pre 1908 Russianicon cartridges and it is often difficult to pin point the manufacturer.

    I do have a round nose 210 gr headstamped T 19 (Tula 1919) this has to be the lastest example with the old round nose bullet. They were supposed to be changing the sights on their weapons but it took a long time.

    The red wood bullet on the training cartridge is headstamped U 97 II and is 1897

    I am unable to provide any additional information on your cartridgeAttachment 74585Attachment 74586Attachment 74587
