    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. Brian Dick ...

Jerrycans! I mean...., where and how the xxxx do you keep 5 Jerrycans, let alone 84 of them! Mind boggling

    I did once meet someone who collected irons (for ironing clothes) and who exhibited them at shows and exhibitions; they had many different types and variations. If I remember correctly the fun stopped when the collector or their partner hurt their back while moving them to or from an exhibition due to the sheer weight of them.

    The Collections out there are as diverse as people are, my wife has a collection of 1:18 scale cars, a small collection of kitchen scales & a collection of Jiffy shakers & between us we have 378 years of Automobile history.
    I started my oil bottle collection as i wanted one for each of my rifles along with a pull-though, sling & bayonet.

    1929 Nash my oldest & most recently acquired (sorry Peter, swapped my AH Sprite for it)

    No, the most valuable one would be a Biante GTHO Falcon

    You could pick me up from the airport in that any time 5th. Or I will ride shotgun with the 1935 Lithy any time you want me.
