    Model 1917 bolt sleeve Notched vs un notched serial # of change?

    I noted in all the publications, they note that later Model 1917 bolt sleeves had a notch added.
    sometimes called a "take down" notch, to aid in bolt dis-assembly.

    But no one seems to know when this change may have occurred?
    Is this still an unknown serial range or date?

    Thanks to those who know, or may be trying to find out.

    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.
