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.

Yes...That was the Caption to this Picture. I didn't see anything to tell me he was a Private 1st Class unless I'm missing something.

L.A.H. monogram on his shoulder boards. They were a big seller in the 1970s and 80s...

For an SS just in what one would surmise is a battle they must have hopped straight from the half track fully kitted out to have a go, certainly love the neat pressed GI uniform with tidy pack and a very clean battle field to boot.

To take a real image at this quality as a one off and not posed...........the photographer would have got the Pulitzer for detail...............great what reenactors can do with monochrome film, start doubting many shots

That's what I notice how nice the picture was...but they probably did a re-enactment.
