    In my dim distant past as a Police Diver we tried a variety of Hard Hats, Kirby Morgan neoprene helmets and of course re breathers.
    These were what all countries brave divers wore to stop exhaust bubbles leaving the diver and coming to the surface as they today in a more sophisticated way.
    Many of the English Royal Navy divers on chariots used to disappear as they fell off as salt water enter the rebreather pot that you used to have to level the crystals and tighten down the clamp. If you didn't do it up tight enough and sea water got in, thats what you breathed in.....lethal cocktail.
    I suspect reading some of the Italianicon divers stories in the straits of Gibralter in WW2 they had the same problem too!!! All brave men!

    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA

    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 ...
