    Boys On Iwo Jima & Horrors of War

    This is a great story - if you haven't read James Bradley's "Flags of our Fathers" I urge you to do so - it is a great read and recounts the battle of Iwo Jima and the horror of the loss of life there in an unforgettable manner.

    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 ...

    I did not intend to infringe on anyones copyright just bring attention to an interesting story & topic. When the story was e-mailed to me (I'm sure it's all over the web now) it was not attributed to an author nor a source. If the authors name was attached to the story I innocently lifted I think it would create interest in his book and possibly lead to sales. I believe in giving credit where it is due.
