    serial #

    Looking for help with proof marks.

    I have the no4 mk1 serial #34c8416. There appears to be an arrow beside mk1 rather than asterik.

    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 ...

    Pics would be priceless and we could give you so much more. As for asking who it was issued to, or where it served, that will remain a mystery. We didn't keep that kind of records, only serviceability and those records went with the whooping cranes...

    Pics...

    "C" indicates Chicopee Falls, the Savage factory. The arrow is likely a badly struck *.
