    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.

    Lots of left handers there. Might be left handed equipment and rifles too.

    Well, top pic has the instructor with a left handed M1916 holster, which didn't come out until IMA brought them out a few years back.

    Also the bandage on his finger, I had that exact same thing happen with an M7 bayonet...had my hand wrong and the student got me...

    I laughed at the m1 paper cut.

    To my knowledge, no left-handed garlands were every made. Photo's showing lefty equipment are reflections, either by the mechanism of the camera or for print/formatting purposes. Here is how it really happened...

    ...unless of course he was holding his garand left handed all along. can't tell in the photo. I can't make out the screw head on the bayonet grip - so I think it's a reflected picture.

    M1917 scabbard. They were used while new M3 hard scabbards were being manufactured.

    A well known UKicon militaria dealer did it with a photo of a Sten Gun a few years ago. Very confusing because the mag was sticking out the wrong side.
