    Birmingham International 19/06/16

    Just a mention of the Sunday gone, good to see Paul, Rog and Dave, hope you managed to pry some cash out of the punters.... big thanks to Paul (email sent regarding the DSM)

    I was only there to drop some items off and to try and punt my Martini Henry and bayonet.... worked out well until I come across a unit marked 1907 hooked quillion..... so the cash from the Martini didn't go far, in fact all gone now plus the rest of the cash I had on me, but that was the plan.

    Leaving Birmingham next stop was Baldock, Hertfordshire, where I picked up another Matchless, this one being a WD G3L...... a lovely sunny day until heading back and the rain started....... one thing if do leave the EU (which I hope we do) we could start exporting water.....

    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.

    Leave the EU.... here here! Learned on Friday that a near neighbour has a 1954 Matchless that he's going to restore. Like a lot of these '.....I'll get around to it one of these days...' merchants, we'll see!
