I found this fascinating. At one point he mentions that there is a spoon in every photo.

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.

I was really impressed with the work the photographer put into setting up those shots! I have never seen so much "War" gear. The web site it was on is very interesting and is now a "favorite".

Love the Saxon axe by the way. I recall a picture of two US troops in England icon

with a Saxon axe that was living on the farm they were billeted on. It had been used to split wood since the beginning of time apparently... Strange things you sometimes find. I have a pic of my oldest son holding an executioner's axe in NB Canada icon

that lives in Champlain's fort. Just kind of poked behind a door with a museum number on it...I have the pics somewhere here...
