    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 ...

    The counterfeit stamps still continue to sell, first to the new collectors who think they are saving money and enhancing the value of their stocks and to others who stamp stocks and
    sell them just for the money.

    There was a time a few years back that certain counterfeit stamps could be identified on the M1icon rifles stamps: 1. the Bishop lazy R in the WRA,, 2. The Rahway SPG, 3. the Stone Mountain SPG to
    name a few. Rick boreckyicon has a large collection of known fake stamps and should be contacted if in doubt.

    As Phineas Taylor Barnum once said.............................................. ..........

    Somewhere along most collectors time, they have been taken by at least one item. Education and questioning can help mitigate a persons lose. A good reason to have a nice library and post asking about an item.

    I got hit when I first started out. Was told it was an Underwood stock when it was just an Underwood rebuild. Boy! Did I get educated fast!

    Charlie,
    Thats sad mate, in the UKicon we have strict laws regards producing fake Patented stamps, and those laws I would assume would apply there in the States to, if it was a UK manufacturerss stamp being copied.

    Is it allowed in some States or this just a plain rip off and copy of an original stamp and passing them off as original, because that, is a whole new ball game and here in the UK would be dealt with as Deception by the Police, big big fine and then the company would probably jump on you from agreat height!!

    Thats how I would play it as an ex Police Officer, quite serious "with intent to deceive" all day long!
    Incidently, there is also an offence for "knowingly" buying a counterfeit in this particular case too.

    I expect the patent expired long ago as these are available in vast quantities...

    Jim,
    Do they stick out like Bulldogs nadgers or are they hard to tell the difference once on the rifles?

    They have gotten better with time. Some were so easy to spot but they are getting harder to tell sometimes. There are still a few tell tales with them still if you know what to look for.

    Like Bruce says...for someone like me it could be an effort but for a few here they're childlike. The reason I sold my LL M1icon rifle was because in a couple decades, if I'm still around, these will cause enough doubt that I wouldn't be able to sell anything real... I think they're a problem.
