    Pls ID Brass Plaque on my Enfield

    I have a 1915 BSA SMLE that has been FTD’d at Ishapore in 1947. A brass plaque has been screwed the RHS of the buttstock that has the following markings - SAU-CTE. HSN
    3488
    Hope someone can identify the reason for fixing this plaque on the butt. The plaque is not flimsy and is well- stamped. Thanks..........Sam

    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.

    As someone always says: "Pictures will help a lot."

    Sounds interesting though.
