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.

Krupp K5

Interesting side note when I returned to college one of my classmates was a descendant of the Krupp's. His family received a multimillion dollar check from Krupp Corp. They promptly returned the check.

Isn't that barrel a bit too big for a Garand icon

?

Nice picture though.

**Daan Kemp** · 07-19-2019 07:29 AM

Wonder why they returned the cheque.

I did not remember but there were two Krupp guns but this was not known until the capture. One was called Leopold which was shipped to the USA icon

and the other Robert which is on
display in Europe

A German

equivalent of "Built like a Mack Truck" was "Hart wie Kruppstahl."

Krupp built about 25 K5 guns. Six were on the west wall, of which one is on display at Battery Todt, Audinghen, France icon

. Two were sent to Anzio (Robert and Leopold). Both were captured, heavily damaged, and the parts of both were used to build-up Leopold which is on display in Fort Lee, VA. The gun in the OP's picture is named "Breslow", one of the ones scrapped and lost to history. Both guns on display carry the name markings of "Leopold". (?)

Returned because it was viewed as blood money

Perceptions. Depends on what you believe to be the truth.
