    Pre WW2 drawing numbers

    Over the years I have found some pre war parts with drawing numbers for the Model 1903A1.

    These parts are not really that easy to find and when you consider the rebuilds and replacement of parts from WW2 they are not that common

    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.

    Many collectors associate drawing numbers with National Match parts. But that's simply not the case. Both National Match and service rifle parts received drawing numbers.

    Thanks for sharing.
