    Thanks guys for all the good information, definitely going to pass. Painter777, I can tell the cartouche is faked cause it seems to be a different font but how can you tell the safety is faked? Seen some of your other posts spotting “reproductions” so just trying to learn what I can, you should write a book how how to spot fake parts lol. Unfortunately fake parts seem to be a problem.

    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.

    It's a pretty straight line for a crack. Most cracks aren't as linear nor as as straight, and as a retired machinist I can say it's not that hard to put a gouge in your work.

    The Buyer Catrod1964 left Happy Feedback to the Seller cannonball3619 on 6-10-21.
    The marks we discussed must have been scratching like many of you thought.
    Just following up because I said I would.

    I'll step in when I can, have had a few set backs.
