    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.

    Everytime I see one of those it reminds me of the scene in the "The Longest Day". Step it up Move it out!. "What to you expect me to do with with this?" I don't care what you do with it!, Mack! LOL!! Or "The Dirty Dozen". I step in it before but I never thought I would be eating It!!

    As a side note: I took my wife to breakfast yesterday and I usually order, "Sausage Gravy on Toast" or SOS for the follow veterans. It was sad to discover it was no longer on the menu! I guess a lot of older veterans are dying off and the younger generations are into the rabbit food. The passing of an era!

    Horrors! I love biscuits and gravy. Though we don't eat out too much anymore B&G has always been a favorite.

    Has anyone actually enjoyed the food that arrived in these containers? I ask because back in the 1970's I received my school dinners, for about 8 years, out of very similar aluminium containers because the food was prepared off site and it was not a very good experience.
