    "Hell-Week"

    LAWRENCE, KANSAS
    February 27, 1935.


    Subject: Loss of Firearm

    (THRU the Commanding General, Seventh Corps Area, Omaha, Nebraska.)

    1. Pursuant to par. 65, Ordnance Field Service Bulletin, No. 2-1, W.D., O.O., Wash., dated June 10, 1933, report is made that one (1) rifle, Cal. .30 - Model 1903, Serial # 739751, Springfield Arsenal, disappeared during drill February 20, 1935.

    2. Careful search and investigation was made locally to see if the disappearance was due to the prank of some fraternity during "hell-week" or was an actual theft -- the latter appears the more probable. Hence the delay of this report.

    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.
