    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.

    This star mark in this position also shows up on some Marine M1903 rifles. Same location, same star. The meaning of it is not known and I've never found any evidence to tie it for sure to the Marine Corps. So I don't know if it's a marking that was applied in the Marines, or it's a marking that was applied to the rifle after it left the Marines.

    What is the serial range?

    I think it was in the 1.4 or 1.8m range on a FG rifle at the north store. Thanks Steve for the info. Regards
