    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 ...

    Those guys have all the scarce stuff. They need to just drop their gear in a pile and walk away...

    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    Yes, jump boots in the first photo, not in the last. You can tell by the beveled front of the heel. That's so it doesn't catch on anything when they "stand up, hook up, SHUFFLE to the door, step right out and count to four"

    The boots on the left bottom photo. What are they? They have a bead around the toe top. The others have a toe cap like jumpers. The shoulder rig with the LMG looks more like a Heiser???than an M3 or anything. Second pic has all the old pattern stuff. Jump helmet which was mostly flying helmet, I'll bet that's a 1911 he has and the Reising has already been slandered so I'll leave that.
    Regards, Jim
