    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. Brian Dick ...

    The Germanicon forces in Italy made wide use of Italianicon camo material for field made garments. I can not tell the color, but it could be Italian material. The 'Hermann Goring' panzer division made wide use of Italian and SS camo material after their transfer to Italy.

    I'm not liking those pics one bit. It's just the thoughts of how they got into their hands.

    Had the same thought but they probably did not get to enjoy their trophys.

    That poses the question of whether or not there was a Germanicon bring back of a M1icon

    I would think no, upon capitulation, they were sort of screened out of bringing back much of anything. Even a pocket knife would have been taken...
