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.

He'd be floored to find out what all that cockarocka would bring today in US green.

Almost through the mayhem...

He looks to have a rather large hanky in his left pocket or else it too is full of booty.

**oldfoneguy** · 04-11-2023 09:56 PM

His canteen is missing and there's a safety pin on the cover. I wonder what's in there. He also has his web sling on upside-down.

There's two short blades and the sword, if you look under his cartridge belt you see the pair of chapes sticking down. Can't make out the other one. First contact up the road will lighten the load. Can't do fire and movement with that stuff..

He'd be fighting the seagulls all the time that would be circling hoping to catch him off guard then relieve him from his booty.
Mind you he is a Sgt so may not be in ones best interests unless your higher ranked, reminds me of "Wild Eye" from WWI a souvenir hunter with scads of collectibles gained at the front.
