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.

Note the very early front sight with straight ears found on early production rifles

Wonder what happened to Roy?

Is he Roy E. Bruch that was awarded the silver star,in 1944 as a Sergeant, and then as a Staff Sergeant was awarded a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Silver Star for gallantry in action in 1945?

Always interesting to see what happened to these men.

He went all the way through the war it seems. Not that many can claim that.
