    local vet's story

    Old enough for war, too young to be a cop

    I found this interesting especially since 1 of only 2? in the world now exist (restored Halifax) and one is a very short drive away.

    As I have said before, personal accounts of wartime service are very meaningful to me and I assume to many others. However, I don't want to be known as simply a "link pasting poster" so pls let me know if I am going overboard.

    cheers, 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.
