    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Interesting numbers on that list.
    Looks like most were recovered.

    I Hope No One Has One, It Would Really Be Bad To Know Someone Has A Stolen Carbine

    Thanks Philly for hooking us up with the link.
    That's a great forum.
    I was able to get help from members there that ID'd the Shoulder Sleeve patches in this picture of my father. Also led to where I could buy a pair.

    Thanks again,

    Philly,
    I didn't mean to get us so off topic.... but here goes,
    The shoulder patch is the same as a ID card he had.
    The emblem stands for.......
    US Forces Western Pacific Insignia.
    I managed to find 2 of the shoulder sleeve patches and later found the Games medal he won from boxing mixed in with his dog tags and other misc medals.
