    Bren Manual

    On my recent trip to Zimbabwe, I found a box of stuff I had left with a friend in 1980, when I left (then Rhodesia). In the box, was a Canadianicon Bren manual, that I had taken there. A little tattered (the box was under the porch), but here it is. I was not comfortable driving around with it, so I mailed it home. Just arrived today. Thank you Zimbabwe PTC!


    Now if I only had a Bren to go with it

    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.

    yes

    It would be a great service if you could scan it and post for the world to see. Surely you brought back some stories from Rhodesia, as well.

    I will see what I can do about scanning it. My scanner is slow & this manual has about 90 pages. It is a 1967 reprint of the 1948 manual. Real deal, not a copy. Some insects got at the last couple of pages, other than that, it's in good shape

    I've got excellent copies of that one and many more available. Check the website. They aren't expensive.
