    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 ...

    Greetings in Israel... It looks like a Howdah pistol of some sort, there are lots of variations. Meant so the story goes, to shoot tigers off the back of an elephant to protect the riders they were large caliber and this one looks like a Damascus barrel type. Yes, I think it's real. How did you come across it where you are?

    Here's a little more to read about... Howdah pistol - Wikipedia
    Regards, Jim

    More photos will help, especially of all and any markings.

    Looks like a sleek percussion model of the photo in the wiki.

    So, it's a brass cartridge gun, and they made them to match the calibers of the hunters' rifles. Originally they were just sawed off rifles but they became the thing to have if you were anybody...and were as varied in their appearance as were the rifles. Each gunmaker did something unique. Wish it were a bit closer so I could try and determine what caliber...maybe you could show us a measurement in mm across the breech of the cartridge and the muzzle? I can't read any of the writing on the barrel.
    Regards, Jim
