    Lithgow SMLE Tag

    Screenshot of the tag hanging on my almost mint 44 Lithgowicon smle on layaway. Anyone recognize it's origin?

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Like Cinders says, it's too out of focus to read. Looks like some gun shop's sales tag though. Isn't military.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    I believe that is one of the tags Jovino & Co. put on the bitser SMLEs built from circa 1943 Slazenger furniture and 1945 dated and unused actions.
