I recently purchased a Smith Corona A3. On the left side on the stock just above the butt plate are the letters S S stamped. What does this represent.
TIA Skip

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.

"Servicable Srandard" I believe. Used to denote a post war rebuild to be sold through DCM to the public.

Interesting. Seller said he purchased it from the DCM decades ago. It has 6 lands and grove barrel.
Thanks

Attachment 110888IMHO "Serviceable Sales". I have a M1903A3 stock marked "US" for Unserviceable Sales. By the time I bought my M1903A3 through the DCM (1962) they had stopped marking the stocks and sold all of them as ' unclassified' 'safe to fire live ammo'.

Should be an early one with the 6 groove barrel. Not many out there with that barrel.
