    Yep. It is certainly an 8 to any untrained eye (mine included), at least from far away. I would imagine it is possible to the difference in definition close up. The "illusion" half of the 8 is bound to have a very different imprint than the correct half.

    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.

    I just know that 1899 carbine serial number has to be 357070.

    It would have been manufactured around November, 1901.

    It is easy to see how the first digit can be misread as an "8". It is a "3".
    Don't feel bad I read the 3s as 8s on a Kragicon too!
