    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. Brian Dick ...

    I am going to dig mine up and take a look. That one looks very similar other than the scale color. I can say the quality on the ones I have is not great. If you store them blade closed the spring fails.

    Strange enough, even when I was a kid I was taught to store them open. Take it out and open it before you put them down.

    I just don't think I'd get $4000 worth of enjoyment out of one of those rickety knives. I have a similar one that just doesn't have the bale, made for civilians. I paid about $70 for it a couple years ago off craigslist.
