    Two US marines kneeling--one with a .45 caliber automatic pistol and the other with a Garandicon M-1 rifle--with a wooden box with a hinged top that has 10 photos of Japaneseicon women attached to the inside of the top. Pacific Theater

    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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.

    Some things never change….I remember seeing plenty of Machinist’s and Mechanic’s tool boxes looking very similar upon the opening of the lid. Sometimes pinups and sometimes the wife.
    But on second thought I guess times do change after all; I now recognize it’s been a decade or more since I’ve seen something along these lines.….no longer allowed in the modern workplace at the risk of offending others.

    Yep, it's been a good 15 years since the tool truck guys offered two types of calendars for the wrenchers.

    Have you ever noticed that pilots in WWII movies always stick a pic of their girls onto the instrument panel before they fly? It is either with chewing gum or by sticking it under the edge of a secondary panel. Have you noticed that the panels of planes in movies always have space for a picture?

    Motion picture oddity.
