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.

A captured Pzk VI "Tiger".. Could be in North Africa '42-'43. In the rear with the gear troops may have had insignia to keep Patton happy.

I will go through my tiger books as I have seen that tank in a pic, what makes it stand out is the field repair to the right side of the turret just behind the Mantlet trunnion that square piece of plate welded on I am pretty sure they give the location of where it was lost or at least theater of action. I have pictured my modest collection of what I have to date on the Tiger the Patrick Agte (on top of the yellow one) one is unopened still in the plastic seal. Hopefully have the answer soon.

Cinders,
Thought I would give you a challenge for the weekend, you might have to take the wrapper off now. It probably took a Sherman with an 88 fitted to dtop it in its tracks. Mind you on second thoughts wouldn't that have had to be a rear engine shot to stop it??

It was probably abandoned after it ran out of gas. Then they fuelled it and tested it out. Everyone would have wanted a clipboard of info on that one.

712 ~ fought in North Africa and was one of the last ones to capitulate along with Tiger 131. Tiger 712 was shipped to the USA icon

where it was displayed at the Aberdeen proving grounds for a long time it now resides (preserved so I gather under cover display) permanently in Germany icon

.
Souce = Tiger 1 on the Western Front Jean Restayn Pages = 32,33

Don't worry Gil I have been sorely tempted to read it but some books I will have to buy doubles of to read then re-sell the read copy, this set pictured I will eventually break out of the plastic and read
