    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.

    Someone better informed on general markings will no doubt correct me if I am wrong, but I think the '1' indicates that it is a Mk1 barrel, & the crossed flags is a proof mark.

    Thank you Roger.

    It's possible, in fact the barrel has 5 grooves.

    I thoughtIndia because the mark on this whistle is, commonly, identified as an indian mark (?).

    Hi Giancarlo. Not sure if that's an 'I' or a '1' on the whistle. I think it may be the latter. Made in Birmingham, I see!

    The India Govt acceptance marking was a Britishicon style broad arrow head above a Capital I.

    The whistle is miss marked, somebody picked the 1 out of the stamp set and not the I. Close enough, done a long time ago, but actually is incorrect.
