    Marking on leather?



    I'm asking this on behalf of a colleague who's posted this on the HBSA members forum - can anyone identify the S-two-arrows stamp? On a Sam Brown and a .303 bandolier

    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.

    Just wondering is its a sold out of service marking, it being the S as is commonly used on equipment as O.P shows in their pic#2.
    Nothing in Skennertonicon Broad Arrow MK I or II that I could see.

    I believe he means the two 'crossed arrows' in the circle.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
