My wife and I visited Athens last year and visited the old Royal Palace.

Ceremonial Guards were armed!

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.

Like the Garands. Not as sure about the footwear.

Dare I say if you put a Red Nose on him he would fit in at the Circus?

LOL...Dare if you must, but do so in his presence at your own risk...those guys were BIG. I'm 6' and these guys towered over me...maybe 6' 7" or more.

I'm pretty quick on my feet Mate and doubtful the Greek budget extended to the purchase of any live ammunition.

**Calfed** · 05-26-2015 04:24 PM

These guys did a drill every 30 minutes or so...they looked pretty coordinated themselves. Plus, there were two of them

Just sayin...

I think most of the surplus 30-06 has made its way to the CMP icon

& retailers in the US. Perhaps they heald a few back.

I find it fascinating that the Garand icon

has found its way into so many ceremonial applications. It does look good as a saluting piece, doesn't it?

I like the black M5 Bayonet & red sling. Still undecided on the Fez & the footwear. Nice Ensemble overall I suppose.

I'd just like to examine the government stampings myself...
