    EFD Specialists

    Are EFD still around?
    They seem to be difficult to get in contact with.

    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 ...

    Geoffry Organ the owner of EFD died I believe either late last year or early this, which could explain the lack of contact.

    I didn't know Geoffrey died. I think it's run by Paul Panagi now but could be wrong. The website is still up or was a few weeks ago.

    Geoffrey died some weeks ago now. There was some talk of his son(s) carrying on, but I've not heard of anything. As Brian says, he did have an associate, Paul Panagi, but not sure if he'll be carrying on or not. Really, at least in recent years, EFD was Geofrey Organ.

    I'm very saddened in learning Geoff has passed on.
    This will explain why no response to several emails, both personal and business.
    Geoff was a real gentleman and I always enjoyed a poke around his collection and shop.
    After Geoff and Jim parted ways with EFD I knew his son was somewhat active in the business at the new place.
    He had a gorgeous bit of property where the shop was located and always enjoyed a "wee dram" on the deck.
    Anyone know if Jim F. is still with us or has he gone to the great gunshop in the sky as well.

    Paul and Geoffrey parted company last year.
    I understood that his sons were taking over the business but nothing seems to have come of it.
    Geoffrey was a great guy and his loss is very sad.
    They had a remembrance do for him at the Oriental Club in London earlier this year.
    As far as I'm aware Jim's still with us.
