    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The rearsight is the give away, fitted to the BSA model 4b, specifically made for the Australianicon contract......70,000 Cadet Martini's, referred to as the 2nd pattern BSA.
    The rear sight should say....BSA Patents Nos. 8419/1910, 22681/1905, so if this is on the sight, 1911 would be correct, if only the early date, then possibly 1907.

    Important Patent info which, if you had the time, you could look them up at the relevant Patent Office one hopes.

    As the later patent date is 1910, your rifle was made after that date, being the 60,888 of 70,000 rifles made under the NSW contract and issued in 1911
