    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 ...

    Question

    Yep, been there done that on occasion.
    Where prey tell was this jump and by who?
    Only one guy is wearing camo and I'm not sure if he is a maroon or Bundeswehr. Some of the guys look to have un fastened shoulder straps on their uniforms which isn't US.

    Sorry guys...thought you all knew I was Canadianicon... These guys are all young jumpers, just qualifying as you can tell by the tape on the helmets. This is our jump qualification for night equipment jump. They're all wearing combat clothing. This is the old Chromate Green stuff. The guy in Cadpat is probably a reg force type. The young guys might be cadets...The loadies and JM's are regular force and from the parachute school or the local squadron. These guys will likely go on to serve in the Parachute Company of their respective regiments... Sorry for confusing...
