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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

The anniversary of Vimy Ridge, 97 years ago! April 09 to April 12. Sacrifice and Honour for our Country! We collect the tools used by troops in fascination and in rememberance. I hope that when we make a little profit from a sale that we remember those that have given everything and where this stuff came from. I think we are honouring the fallen by maintaining a healthy passion for preserving and educating others as they ask the miriad of questions pertaining the great wars and ongoing conflicts.
Cheers and thank-you Veterans

I fear not enough as I see dark clouds on the horizon. Perhaps some will be sufficently cognizant of history to enable us not to repeat it. Hope springs eternal.

I recall posts of WW2 vets visiting Normandy, etc. They said it was pretty universal that the 20 somethings disliked Americans, but the older folks remembered & were still grateful.

I find that generally older = wiser.

Nor should we ever forget them that - "Gave it all so we could have it all"

They are the simplistic type of overlay-ed images that bring locations back to their former Glory and the hell that surrounded them..................as an ex soldier, I suppose I am allowed to say "What did that war really achieve, except suppressing the German icon

nation, which didn't work either, because we did it all over again in WW2 and beyond and still doing it. Investing more in warfare then in feeding human beings"

Off my soapbox..........now what military rifle do I want to get next??

Reading these comments has prompted me to upload some pages from a book produced in 1934 with images of WWI. Not always what we might expect.
