    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.

    The common thinking on the dual date and MO stamp is that it was a regular military rifle (in this case, manufactured in 1934), removed from front line service and re-issued to the ministerstvo oborony - the Ministry of Defense (in this case, in 1950).

    Is there any reason to stamped and identify those who are re-issue? The army is not iunder the authority of the same Ministry (Defense) too?

    My knowledge of the subject isn't the best, but the Ministry of Defense wasn't technically military, if I recall. They were more of a government security agency overseeing all aspects of life with the need for their own equipment. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable can shed more light.

    In very rare cases, you can find triple dated firearms - weapons with 3 different years stamped on them.
