    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.

    I was very fortunate and found this a few years ago.
    Non functioning when I got it, but turned out to be only a dry joint at the inverter

    Sadly well over priced IMHO but it is what it is! On that price basis you can have my FULL CES L42A1 with full provenance of its user in the Falklands War for £15,000 how's about that for overpricing!!

    Jim,
    Not too far off the mark IMHO at the moment I know where there are two on their own in the chests for over £11K with no provenance
