    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.

    When I look in my book on Carcanos the only listed date for FNA-B produced Carcano Cavalry Carbines is 1942, after that it is the remaining serial numbers are listed as 'assente' which I believe means absent. Basically some time in 1943-1944 is what I would guess.
