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.

Theadore Jr..? Patton looking smart in his dress uniform. Never to be out done.

**browningautorifle** · 07-04-2014 10:45 PM

And typically, dressed different than the others...

I'm eager to read O'Reilly's "Killing Patton" when it is released in September. He has the formula down pat for the death of major historical figures (Lincoln, Kennedy, Jesus). The fact that he includes Patton in the list of those murdered suggests he will show that it wasn't an accident.

Not FDR's funeral.

Most likely. Patton and Bradley are still wearing 3 stars each.

Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., seen in Ste. Mere-Eglise on July 12, hours before he died of a coronary thrombosis. The 4th Infantry Division commander described him as “the most gallant soldier and finest gentleman I have ever known.”
