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.

Very interisting if a bit depreessing. Guess I know why good K98s are scarce.

I am no historian. I have read the Germans who invaded Norway icon

left many troops there for the entire war. They had all 1930's rifles and MG's. Also heard many VZ-24's where shipped in to arm the troops. Over 300,000 Germans were in Norway in May 1945 when the war ended. It was a huge equipment dump for Norway and they used all of that equipment for over 40 years.

That is immediately inside the front door of the museum at Acres Hus. You walk past it to get into the museum. I was there in the mid 80s. Since there was no one around I left with a half dozen sight hoods and a couple of cleaning rods, figgured I could put them to better use then they were.
I examined that mess closely and I don't believe there was a single 98k that could be salvaged out of that mess without doing a bunch of grinding and reblueing.
Crying shame to collectors, But it was their country that was occupied so they have the right to do as they please with captured equipment. At least they did not melt them down!
