    butt amd barrel marks on a recently acquired No. 5 Mk 1

    I have taken a few pics of butt and barrel mark. I have a gun marks book, but none of the marks I find on the rifle are in my book.

    Thanks, Jim

    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.

    The marks on the underside of the wrist are the manufacturer's, (BSA) wartime code and inspector stamps. The barrel reinforce markings are the manufacture date and various inspector's stamps.
