    WWII Relics

    Here are some relics of the Great War- WWI. My father was a Lieutenant of Engineers with the 26th Division and served in the Argonne and St Mihiel offensives. The large shell cases are Frenchicon 75’s to be used as vases. The two smaller ones are whet my father always called “one Pounders”. I think that they are French. The base reads, across the top-“37-85” and across the bottom as “PDPs 136 2 16” followed by what looks to be the US ordnance bomb symbol. The one POUNDER on the left reads "WERDUN" and the one on th right reads "FRANCE".

    They are, of course, inert.

    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.
