    Ian Skennerton did write a hardback book with Mark Stamps on the Enfield .38-200 Revolvers. I believe that it was originally published in 1993 or so which is about when I bought mine. It gives a pretty good treatment of this series of revolvers. I don't know if it is still in print or not but is likely available on the secondary market.

    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 ...

    The spurless one lasted until the end of production. The proof date on top of the bbl identifies the approx date of manufacture - unless it's been replaced.

    I doubt there was much new production after 1945. Apparently some 6000 were produced for Pakistan in 1956/7. Some figures I found in the Public Records Office

    Post war production was all Mk1*.

    The 'tanker' myth came about because when the tank corps were asked whether the deletion of the hammer spur would unduly affect their use in tanks or during their training, they replied that the hammer spur played no part in their use inside the tanks or in training as the tankies were never taught to use the hammer in any case. It was redundant.
