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.

Looks like it. Definitely not BREN.

But the guards definately DID have Brens, captured in France icon

. There were Brens in the watchtowers in many POW camps and Lt Longshaw of the Royal Berkshire Regiment confirmed that thet were indeed .303" Brens when a box of fresh magazines was being pulled up to the top on a rope. It swung open and all of the curved Bren mags fell out and the .303" ammo scattered about the ground........... cheered on by the hoots of derision of the prisoners
