    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.

    Notice the shell hole in the hull?

    I did first up but did not want to comment judging by its local on the hull and perhaps a secondary lower Rt a low profiled AT field piece low down in a street situation as there was no fear of the back up Shermans getting past the road blocker unless it was a Hetzer they had a low profile as well but I still reckon it all points toward an AT fieldpiece.
    But seeing all the hatches are open hopefully most of the crew got out although the Rt hand hatch has only one half open, lot of people think tanks are great thats untill a dirty great Tiger plants an AP 88mm into you and well the rest is history only the M 110 tank destroyer really worried the Tiger from the allies the firefly according to Rosen was not much of a problem I mean they stuck it on a Ronsen!

    But they had to try something against superior weapons finally twigged the Typhoon with 8 6" rockets and 4 x 20mm oh yeah thats hurting enough???????

    Postscript looking at the barrel length on that Sherman I would hazard that that is a Firefly with the 17pdr AT Britishicon gun.

    Looks like a bunch of land mines to the right of the tank image

    See the scallop taken out of the turret on the right side directly above the drivers hatch.
