    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.

    You could cruise Gun Broker for prices...if you don’t sell on Gun broker, drop it by 15%-20% and post it here

    It’s best to post a few pictures to gauge condition. It’s also helpful to know how much of the rifle matches. Does the bolt and internal serial numbers match the receiver? What arsenal/series is it.

    Another thing...the mum is usually canceled (with smaller circle stamping) if it was removed from service and used for training.

    Oh my God...
    I'd love that rifle, but there is a small pond between us.
    Give her to someone who'll take care of her like I would, please.

    I’d throw a price at you but I already have two type 38 rifles. Both have mums, one is a complete match except my disco cover is off by 40 numbers. The other has a nicer stock, it’s older but has a few mismatched parts. Plus my safe is full...maybe I should get another safe!

    I would be interested in what you are asking for this rifle, if you do decide to sell it. I don't have a single Japaneseicon rifle in my collection so this would be a nice start.

    I think the gun laws in Japan would prohibit it, but if you like I know a few Japaneseicon nationals in Japan and I can ask if there is a way to return the rifle. I'm big on history BUT, the reason I'm interested in the rifle is because my Grandfather and uncle fought in the pacific war. My Grandfather landed on the Island of Tinian, Saipan, and Guam (SEABEES); One uncle (US Army) was on the Philippine Island of Cebu fighting as a Gurellia after the US forces were overrun. I had another uncle (US ARMY) fighting in the European campaigns.

    I doubt that I could afford such a rifle in all honesty.

    May I suggest you post this and pics over in our own Appraisals, Fakery, Dispute Resolution & Mediation Forum? It is the exact place on this site to ask for appraisals from forum users and might just get a few more peeks by those in the know!
