    It got sent back to have the hold-open added at some point, which many (but not all) did.

    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 ...

    RS2 186

    Note the precise style of the marking - the Imperial Germanicon Army was very picky about this!

    R cursive
    .
    S
    .
    2 (slightly smaller font size than the S)
    .
    186 ( slightly smaller font size than the 2)
    .

    In which case, the interpretation would be Reserve Sanitäts (= medical and sanitation) -Detachement No.2 Weapon No. 186

    As a weapon for a medical detachment - i.e. strictly for self-defence only - it would have hardly been fired at all - hence the condition of the barrel being better than one might expect.

    Any pre-1945 magazine seems to be priced at three figures these days, even the East Germanicon ones, - and the MeC-Gar ones will probably work better.
