    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.

    Perfect! Let me guess, you wear it around the house sometimes just because?

    browningautorifleicon,

    Only at Christmas time because the dog likes to dress up.

    David

    P.S.

    The M1A1icon carbine shown below is 12/42 barrel dated.
    The MG42 is dated 1943 and the MG34 is 1939 dated.

    The dog is wearing a 1944 dated P.38 hard shell holster...which are also somewhat rare.
    But he was always a bit fussy about what he was wearing.

    No she wasn't. They were generaly very well taken care of considering where they were used. I have a 'WB' in my collection that could be her brother.... also a rare '42 'GHD' which there were very few of in that particular year.
