    Question Sincerely Would Like SRS lookup on my 1888 Trapdoor

    .
    Rifle is an 1888 SA Trapdoor serial #: 127519
    SWB 1891 cartouche,

    Top of Comb on stock: A 16
    Right side of stock: “71” "16"

    Little bit of history I have is that it is a early experimental model 1888 rifle that
    is correct original armory manufactured rifles of the 1890 period
    Rifle was from the Striker family and owner was Dan Striker who received it from his
    GrandDad Fran Striker (author of the Lone Ranger and The Silver Bullet book, 1925)from
    Up State New York

    Thanks in Advance for any information

    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.

    GySgt USMC - FWIW, your Stock 'cartouche' is actually "S.W.P", for Samuel W. Porter. He was Master Armorer at Springfield Armory from 1879 to 1894.
