    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.

    Thanks Aragorn243

    The only thing I could find ( only in the last hour ) was that it might be a type 30. Early to mid war production.
    Thanks again

    Type 30 is correct, not 38. I was thinking rifles but it was originally designed for the type 30 rifle and used on the 38's and 99's without change other than cosmetics.

    Yep, Type 30 Japaneseicon. Interestingly, the cross guard / quillon on that sample is straight. LATE production?

    The original Type 30 was the inspiration for the Britishicon Pattern 1907 bayonet, hooked quillon and all.

    Straight quillion would be late production as far as the bayonets are concerned but early to mid war (WWII) production as suggested. Much too well made to be late war.
