    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.

    Look at the top right corner of the site and type in the search box "boer mauser" ..

    Although I haven't had a chance to create a formal Knowledge Libraryicon entry for it, here's a piece from my collection …

    1896 Boer Mauser Rifle Serial # B7772 (click here)

    "One of the first 20,000 rifles delivered in 1896 to Z.A.R.
    Serial number ranges were A1 - A10000 & B1 - B10000"

    "All matching numbers except cleaning rod and un-numbered bolt"
    "Vet bring back and was originally part of CMI collection"

    Regards,
    Doug

    Here's a couple of pictures of a Boer war DWM manufactured Mauser M96 I owned a few years back, tatty and deactivated (not by me) due to the shot out and corroded bore and damage to the action body.

    This example S/N 1695 was delivered to the Transvaal in early 1897, a South African mate of mine helped me decipher the wording carved into the butt, with a little research came up with this.

    Captured and brought back to the UKicon, either as Regimental booty, or by an Officer, I would love to know the capture history of this piece.

    Name: C J Lourence (He was a member of the Wakkerstroom Commando and was unfortunately killed in action in 1900)

    Town: MW STROOM ( Marthinus-Wessel-Stroom, normally known as "Wakkerstroom" )

    They are very interesting Mauser's indeed, after all, how often can you track down the the original owner of a service rifle over 100 years later!

    Classic Arms is a well known gun shop close to Pretoria and auctions many firearms every quarter. You can check their previous auction's prices and know what the price in ZAR was. I believe Classic Arms will ship, check the details on the auction site for their procedure and costs. Dependable and reputable AFAIK. Been to their premises too.
