    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.

    That's the Canadianicon proof, the C Broad arrow.

    If you ever see a Canadianicon Arsenal version, Cinders, snap it up quickly because they don't show up very often. They will be marked by a "A" within a "C" normally in the bottom right, where it would be in your picture. You are sometimes lucky if you keep your eyes open for this one.
