    Recoil Plates

    Found several recoil plates I can't identify. All 3 are type 3 plates, marked WJ; LJ; and P-LW. Anyone help me out? 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.

    I think the first two came on wartime replacement stocks made by Jewel Brothers, and my guess on the last one is Pedersen for Lumb woodworking. Let's see what some of the other guys have to say. - Bob

    Hello BobG

    Sick of your own cooking yet?

    WJ
    War Time spare part.
    Believed made by Wadsworth Watch Case for Jewell Bros war time replacement stocks. The J marked stocks. Early on I thought these were for Jamestown Lounge, the JL stocks, but was corrected by Mr. Ricca:

    LJ
    War time spare part.
    Again these are from a spare parts contract the Jewell Bros had. We just don't know who the 'L' is. Some think Lyman, but no documented proof that I've seen yet.

    P-LW
    War time spare part.
    I strongly believe these were made by Parker Wire Goods, same company that made the PI marked recoil plates for Inland. These P-LW were supplied to Lumb Woodworking for their war time replacement stock contract.

    BobG,
    Have you found me a Stan Pro yet??

    Cheers,
    Charlie-Painter777

    I agree with Painters identifications. Jewell Bros. and Jamestown Lounge are often confused.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
