    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.

    I am sure down the list as an expert, but it looks to me like a Mod.99 "last ditch". It has the plum shaped bolt handle and I think Tokyo arsenal.
    When the experts show up , they will tell you the full scoop

    It is a Kokura series 25 Type 99 rifle . Your photo is too poor to see the first number of the serial number [ what is it ? ] . The bolt is the correct type for the rifle , does it match ? It the serial number is one I do not have I would be interested in the rifle .

    Please show the "duffel cut", but I believe that's as they came from the factory. I have a similar "Last Ditch" and my research showed that they were made in that configuration.
