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.

Air Force major. The lobby of the Defense Intelligence Agency displays an identical gold plated AK-47 (maybe the same one) and a Russian icon

sniper rifle, also gold plated, that belonged to either Saddam or his sons.

We salvaged these from the locals in Al Hillah, or Biblical Babylon, in 2003. Everyone and his brother wanted a pic taken holding one of them. About 19 AK's and 11 SDV's. All gold plated.Turned them over the 1st MEF in May of 2003. The palace was one of Ouday's haunts. Groucho

Sorry for the double post, but correction of rifles. SVD's. Not SDV's

Groucho,

thanks for that. Maybe in 100 years people will be wondering what was the story behind that gun. If they can get to your post, they'll know. It's called "primary source" information.
