    SRS Lookup

    Any details on the following?

    Springfield 50/70 Trapdoor S/N 24778. Lock plate dated 1863 and trapdoor dated 1869. It's an Allen conversion.

    Springfield 45/70 Trapdoor S/N 517511. Lock plate dated 1884.

    Thanks

    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.

    Thanks
    Made mid-1891
    (1871 numbers 502492-533633 according to Frasca & Hill P.378)
    Fiscal Year 1890-91 ended 30. June 1891. 516124 last number for that fiscal year (P.379)
    So, assuming steady rate of production and extrapolating from that date:

    2nd week of July 1891.
