    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Interesting item. On the front, are those snaps or gromets for laceing?

    I have no clue, but at a guess I'd say it is some sort of cavalryman's kit. It might be a form of scabbard for some carbine without a sling, but that is just a guess.

    They are gromets.
    I think it's American.
    Just can't figure it out.

    It looks like a WW1 or early WWII gas mask canister holder that is worn around the chest. I have seen pictures of WW I USAicon dough boys wearing a similar outfit. Hope this helps
