    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 ...

    The top one appears to be 101? But that seems to be pre jump? Isn't that a door bundle they have on the ammo cart?

    In lower picture, we have both the M1icon Garand and M1 Carbine featured. Nice.

    In the lower picture, the man on the left, in the foreground, appears to be wearing a captured Germanicon sidearm. I blew up the web page and it looks like a Werhmacht insignia at the top of the holster. What do you think?

    Pulling the cart? That's a 1916 holster.

    No, the lower of the two pictures, in the first post, this one, the soldier on the left, in the foreground, check out the holster. Ordinarily guys who carried Garands were not issued sidearms, so...seems to me to be a Germanicon capture, particularly with the insignia.

    I agree that from here it looks like a Germanicon eagle but thatr's a 1916 holster for a .45. I'm sure of it.
