    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.

    According to your info, it should be Belgian-made 9x19 FMJ ammo, loaded with smokeless powder. The Spanish label suggests it was on an order for a South American country. Not sure what you mean by "bullets have a steel tip". What else do you want to know? Can you post a pic of the bullet and headstamp?

    Question

    The headstamp is F N and then a star. What I mean is the tip is steel like chrome. I'm stumped.

    The whole bullet is "steel like chrome", or just the very tip of the bullet? If it is the whole projectile, it is just a standard ball round with a cupro-nickle jacket. If it is the tip, please post a pic of it.
