    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.

    Numbers and letters have been commonly seen on the rear 'Shelf' on WRA Op Slides.
    Thought to be a Inspectors mark, or shift, station... etc.
    But common.

    With WRA you'll often find numbers/letters inside the hand guards, inside their stocks on the right edge or on top of the wood bridge. Trigger housings often found with a letter stamped outside/underneath.. etc.
    Either shift or work station location, not really sure.
    But again......... Common.

    Cheers

    It's an 'I' and is an inspection mark, as in the slide passed a certain inspection protocol ID'd as 'I'. From what I've seen, all Type V slides have 'initials' of the same type but seen in different locations. I had a Packard for Inland Type V with a 'V' on it which I thought meant 'Type V' for a long time but then I saw another one with a different letter, so that idea went out with the trash.
    'Really Senior Member' Especially since I started on the original Culver forum. That had to be about 1998.
