    Surcharge on Trapdoor

    Does anyone recognize the surcharge on this trapdoor? The inspector stamp is from 1891 and the sn is 532xxx.

    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 ...

    39TH Separation Company, rifle no. 87????. Some of the troops in the Spanish-American war never saw service other than spending time in camps. Those that did see service spent time in camps state side after the war was over. My home town ( Knoxville, TN ) was host to Camp Poland.

    New York Militia 39th. separate company was stationed at the Watertown Armory ,190 Arsenal street, Watertown New York. Google separate companies New York militia for a explination of how the companies drilled and were combined in cases where the militia was called to service. Hope this helps.
