    Queensland Police survey

    For those that are unfamiliar with my project, I have been compiling a listing of both the MkI* and MkIII SMLE's that were supplied to the Queensland Police prior to 1914.

    Many thank's to those who have already supplied their details via Gunboards, but i am still a long way short.
    What i require are ..
    1).. Make and year of manufacture.
    2).. Serial Number.
    3).. Q^P Number.
    4).. Butt markings (Mk.I)
    All should carry the "sold out of service" marking, but would be interested to hear of any that don't, or have other military issue markings.

    As these rifles were issued in a set, eg; Bayonet, Frog, Oil bottle, Sling, Ammo pouch and Belt.. I am recording these items as well.

    Cheers.

    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.
