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.

Did the British icon

not mount a 12"inch gun to a submarine in WWI, and yes people believe it or not the British also in WWI developed the one and only steam powered submarine complete with funnels and boilers called the "K" boats they were a dismal and lethal failure that were more dangerous to the crews than the enemy look them up a real tragedy of a thought pattern gone astray, the theory was they could keep up with the Grand fleet on the surface and then wreak havoc on the White fleet.

Just a quick addition maybe the British navy had periscopes for the tanks they have!
