    M1905 presented for verification

    A coworker sent me photos of this guy. I believe I am looking at an all original M1905 SA made in 1918. I'm not 100% on the grips but think they are original. Not sure about the scabbard. I'm trying to get hands on and check it out better. Any input or ideas on value is appreciated. Thank you

    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.

    Yes, it's good. The walnut scales are typical of originals before wear and sanding. The scabbard is a later model, commonly found when they were refurbed or reissued for WW2. All OK.
