    "almost" a 1%-er

    Ishapore resumed P1907 bayonet production in Sept. 1939 per the books and between Sept '39 and March '40 only 220 were produced. Obviously, the survival rate is low on these early WW II examples so I was surprised when one came up for auction last week. The better surprise is no one bid against me so now I have a Jan and Feb 1940 example giving me 0.91%

    I still have never seen or heard of a 1939 dated example, the most commonly found example is 4/41. Does anyone have a '39??

    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.
