    Speaking of Thanks

    I would like to thank RCS for posing the original question of what was the serial number of Champlins Rifle, Bob Seijasicon and the GCAicon for printing the story, and finally Tom Vinson and Bill Champlin for their support and background on their father and the rifle. It was an enjoyable project.

    With covid and all the fuss, people make about masks, quarantine and how rough it is - I like to reflect on the story of how Champlain while on Battan had to spend a night and a day in a fox hole/ bomb crater with dead bodies. Thanks to him and his generation the roughest of life we see is masks and quarantine.




    The rest of the story of the rifle is in the Fall 2021 GCA journal - consider becoming a member

    Thank you

    Mark

    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.

    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.
