    Help plz !! Lee Enfield 1917 BSA

    there is a "T" stamp on top of my receiver as well as an "F" stamp. But JUST those two letters no FTR or FR for being repaired. It seems to be original minus being sporterized. Its a Canadianicon issued 1917 BSA SHTLE. it was found in an attic behind things and everything matches and has NO refurbished / reissued date stamp on it other then the number 17 on side.

    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.

    Show us the whole rifle. Only then can we tell you what you may have. Is it a full complete No1 with C broad arrow stamps or a sporter with a bit of rear handguard attached.

    It also still retains the hard to find stock marking disc, sometimes they have marks on the reverse. Have you looked?

    The C Broad Arrow property mark in that form originated around 1907, IIRC.
