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.

Our guys didn't use anything like that for parade.

In the British icon

Army, I've seen the odd chromed bayonet. Usually SLR or No5 bayonets. But never seen rifle parts treated that way.

Thank you all.

Chromed bayonet: I have this WSC

**CINDERS** · 11-06-2019 04:48 AM

WSC = Wilkinson Sword Company they also made one with just Wilkinson on it.

Not in this Kingdom anyway, the only time that it ever got traction here briefly, was when the RAF Regiment had a new boss who wanted all Royal events rifle carriers to have shiny bayonets!

Didn't last long thank God

These, in Italy icon

, were rifles belonging to the Navy. The Navy has always been a rather "particular branch".

Giove,
Not likely to see an angry man in the Navy are they.............except on a pub crawl in Genoa
