Got this one thrown at me, someone who had a very interesting career through many countries.

Lets see if you old hands can recognise this lad......and it's not me.

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.

Love the hot pants.

**muffett.2008** · 03-26-2022 04:15 AM

Well I thought that would be harder, an aussie hat, 37 pattern web belt and looking like a schoolboy.....

Hot pants made me laugh

It's a '44 pattern belt along with the other webbing we had at the time. Studded ammo boots too..... JUST pre-higher combat boots. Grey or khaki woolen socks (best for your feet) rolled over tops of boots. The shorts were probably an inch or so shorter than the regulations allowed but nobody really bothered too much. Taken outside the workshop office in 1967 or 68. Am expecting John Dudley or Lauri Taggart to walk up the track.......

At least you had a tropic or hot weather kit issue. Ours was just take it or leave it. We did have desert issue shorts and sand slappers but they seldom saw light and even when there we had full combat clothing. No shorts issue for that.

It was the face that "gave it away".

People's faces may look older with the passage of time but they tend not to change shape/size.
