    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 ...

    They are Japaneseicon. Need a metric measurement of the top for caliber. Looks like a 37mm cannon shell. Measurement of the top should confirm or deny.

    Calculate the scrap value of the brass, add $25 for interest factor.

    At Aus they should start at $60-$70/Au a piece and go from there probably do better selling them separately rather than ask $120-$140 straight up so who knows what you will get may miss however they are WWII Japaneseicon and desirable.

    Then again Flea-bay is a funny place............
