Keep away from sunlight. UV can damage fabrics and also fade them. Insects. Keep away for obvious reasons. Moisture. No-no. Mildew bad.

Lay flat on acid free paper. Folding or rolling it can cause the fabric to be damaged (take a set). Museums have big drawers that are sealed against insects and put acid free paper on top and bottom.

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.

Thank you. That was basically what I ended up doing and advised the owner to leave it off the gun. Hopefully he followed through!
