    Arrow Garand Picture of the day - rare combo

    From Scott Duff's web site - a true rare combination


    One is a Springfield Armory manufactured in May 1943 and the other is a Winchester (WIN-13) manufactured in April 1945. Both rifles have been restored. In 25 years of Garand collecting this is the first duplicate serial numbered pair of rifles that I have personally seen. They will only be sold as a pair.

    From James E. “Mac” McCollum Collection - 139-R1192. M1icon Garand Rifles, Springfield Armory, s/n 1616152 and Winchester Repeating Arms s/n 1616152 (WIN-13). This is a duplicate serial number pair World War II era rifles.
    — $9,995 for the pair

    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.
