    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.

    Someone ought to ask the seller for the serial number and then post it here.

    Looks like it spent some time in the barn doesn't it?

    but i can garanty to you this scope is 10000000000000 % original found in Normandie and never in collection before me.

    greeting
    valéry

    Think I will pass on that one Jim but if they get back to me I will definitely post the serial so it can be traced makes you wonder what happened to the rest of the kit or soldier who carried it. Although it may have been an air dropped one to the resistance who knows.

    Don't blame you. Yes, it will be interesting to see how it surfaces in a while on a rifle as original...
