    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.

    Interesting picture! Some are looking for protection in the ditch and the two others are walking like they were on a sunday walk?!

    I think they are actually hiding from the 2 officers walking up the road. Some guys will do anything to get out of work details.

    And, of course, the photographer is standing up. One guy is grabbing the side of the ditch as if there are rounds incoming.
